Bottoms Up: The last movie EPK LOUISIANA worked on before the nationwide strike out “Bottoms” just premiered in theaters Friday!
A bunch of behind the scenes footage we shot just dropped on YouTube…..let me take you back to 2022 as two young gay high school girls start a fight club to meet chicks and score!
