Toxic has been featured as the “Short of the Day” on Shorted!

Film Shortage has premiered Toxic on their website as a “Featured Short!” Their review: “While the setting is one that happens on the daily, it’s rare that we get this point of view captured. Where we get a intriguing glimpse at how insecurities can create radicalizations. Even though the film doesn’t contain a horrific ending, we applaud the raw setup and insinuations of what’s to come.”
