Production
Booger marks Dauterman's feature directorial debut; prior to Booger, Dauterman directed such short films as Wakey, Wakey (2019) and Unfinished Business (2020), the former of which screened at the Fantasia International Film Festival and Fantastic Fest in 2019.[1][3] Dauterman described Booger as "a disgusting comedy about grief. Or a body horror that's funny and sad. Or a tragedy that makes you laugh and squirm. It's the nuanced story I wanted to tell about the joys of friendship, the pain of loss, and the dizzying search back to your center after a crisis."[1]
