Moonshine

Inspired by her travels back to Ukraine, a young woman explores the impact of digging up your roots over shots of hooch. Its a Ukrainian kitchen-party with a live-band, if a Ukrainian kitchen party was held in a fried chicken restaurant.. Pull up a chair, grab a tasty bite, and raise your glass in a celebration of life. BUD’MO!
