THE MAKING OF PESTICIDE

PESTICIDE - DELETED SCENES
​
These scenes were removed from the final product for a myriad of reasons, whether it be time constraints, not fitting the tone and/or pace of the film, numerous technical errors, or just not enjoying the scene itself. The final released version of Pesticide is my preferred version, my director's cut. These are just fun extra scenes that would otherwise never see the light of day.
PESTICIDE - INTERVIEW
