Seattle-made episodic series CUDDLE premieres at SIFF
The SIFF preview will be followed by a full premiere event at Northwest Film Forum in June.

In the new Seattle-set episodic show CUDDLE, a quirky, young cuddle therapist sets out to change the world with the power of touch - but the hardest person to hug might just be herself.
CUDDLE is the story of Dina Razzano, a one-time actress who comes home to Seattle to reinvent herself. But starting over isn’t easy, especially when you’re a pioneer of a very new, slightly dubious healing practice: cuddle therapy. At its core, CUDDLE is about one woman’s attempt to mend her life and find purpose … in the most unlikely way.
Join the local cast and crew for the pilot episode at SIFF on Sunday, May 26th as part of "Connection: Available" Episodic Program II, then come binge watch the entire first season at Northwest Film Forum on June 27th, featuring two screening times and a party in between!
PILOT SCREENING: Sunday, May 26th at SIFF Cinema Uptown, 2pm
OFFICIAL LAUNCH PARTY EVENT: Thursday, June 27th at Northwest Film Forum,
