EAT ME! opens on an indie Brooklyn band, General Malacarne, who has their basement practice session cut short due to a blackout. The band sends its keyboard player upstairs to fetch some beers, but he never returns. When the band goes to investigate, they find the door jammed and even worse, there's no cell phone reception. A news bulletin on the radio suggests there's been an emergency in the city, but details are sketchy at best.

Finding themselves trapped, the band deals with the uncertainty in their customary fashion: passing a few joints and kicking back. When the band manages to pry open the basement door the next morning, things don't seem that strange.

 

But they quickly discover that much has gone awry on the streets of Bed-Stuy, and they'll soon be forced to bumble and stumble their way to the safe haven that's also known as Long Island.

 Filmed in Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island, EAT ME! was produced by Cold Hands Productions. The film was directed, edited and produced by Katie Carman, who co-founded Cold Hands Productions along with M. Elizabeth Lee. Lee, who has appeared in a number of feature films, commercials, and theater productions, wrote the screenplay and stars in the film. EAT ME! also stars Ivy Hong, Chesley Calloway, and Jun Naito, who performs on drums for the film's sound track.
