Designer Shit

Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) is the act of taking stool from a healthy donor and implanting it into the gut of a sick individual. In "Designer Shit", Director Saffron Cassaday, who has suffered from ulcerative colitis for nearly a decade, sets off on a journey to determine if this form of treatment could potentially cure her of her disease. Her investigation leads her down a path she did not expect to travel and enlightens her on the power "poo" has to affect our health, happiness and possibly even our physical appearance.

Directed by Saffron Cassaday, Designer Shit leans on a strong ensemble — Saffron Cassaday, Al Mukadam — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2023.
