"a sweaty, bloody, mosh pit of a film that pulls no punches"
- Gabriel Farrell, Take One Cinema
SYNOPSIS

DIRECTED BY: ANDREW GIBSON
REVIEWS
“Gutterbug dives into its characters’ lives with an electric intensity, like a Trainspotting for the basement show set.”
Oscar Goff, Boston Hassle
"As raw as it is ultimately heartbreaking,
Gutterbug is an outstanding first effort from director, ANDREW GIBSON. His debut is slick, sure-handed and powerful."
Peter Foldy, LA SPLASH
“Gutterbug deals with many contemporary realities of homelessness, mental health, drug use, and toxic friendships”
