A contained abrasive film fuelled by wings and beer from Brent Michal, Ponytailhead is an eccentric contemporary glimpse into a somewhat endearing yet mostly five-alarm manipulative relationship. Within the walls of a low-lit flat where a guy is called over to remove a bug from his ex’s place, Ponytailhead offers a 9 minute concoction of loving, hating and a hell of a lot of raw emotion between two individuals who can’t seem to quit one another but probably should…immediately.

Ben Duff and Dylan Mulligan are best friends and co-workers at a mini-golf course. They’re also the last two people anyone would ever expect to be heroes.
But when their mutual friend Dougie is kidnapped by a demonic cult led by the sinister Eugene, they have no choice but to step up. What starts as an attempt to rescue their friend quickly turns into something much bigger, as they find themselves facing supernatural forces and a growing threat to their town. In the process, these two aimless slackers must embrace their inner warriors and become Gothic Slayers or at least, do their best impression of heroes as they fumble their way through a mission far beyond their pay grade.
