Exclusive Trailer Premiere: Michael Fausti's 'BURNT FLOWERS' - Not all flames die out...
Cult director Michael Fausti, known for his underground hit “EXIT” in 2020, is back in the spotlight with his latest creation, “BURNT FLOWERS”. This highly anticipated feature film is shrouded in mystery, with Fausti himself describing it as a blend of “A psycho-sexual Film Noir” and “Alice in Wonderland meets the Wizard of Oz”.

“BURNT FLOWERS” unfolds an intriguing narrative. The film follows Detective Francis Alban, portrayed by Amber Doig-Thorne (known for "Blood and Honey", 2022), as she delves into the sinister depths of 1960s London on a haunting quest to uncover a long-elusive serial killer.
