POLLINATION: FIG/WASP (2020), by Halo Starling and Eppchez Yo-Sí Yes, is a cheeky and smoldering musical depiction of plant and insect erotic collaboration, made by video artist and puppeteer. We are inspired by cross species sexual symbiosis to think ever more expansively about what can be a turn on.

Official Selection and World Premiere: Hacker Porn Film Festival, Rome, 2022.

Official Selection and US Film Festival Premiere, Hot Bits Film Festival, Philadelphia and Baltimore, 2023.
