Take a short, strange strip through the life of the visionary multimedia artist known as Slinger, who helped elevate the demonized glass-pipe subculture from illegal back-alley headshops to a respected fine art form housed in galleries, museums, and even the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Museum. This intimate portrait  follows Slinger through the depths of a Philadelphia winter, as he prepares for a solo glass exhibition in California and shares his journey toward becoming an avant-garde glass artist, cannabis activist, documentary filmmaker, and pop art entrepreneur.
