From the Director, Tiffany Lin

“Inspired by true events involving an international smuggling ring and a $600,000 haul, POACHERS is a breezy road trip that takes a dark turn. At its core, this is a story about friendship - that special kind of ride or die relationship that is so rare to find. Someone you’d be willing to go to hell and back with. Someone you'd commit crimes for. Someone you'd murder for.

However, friendships, like plants, require care and maintenance. Sometimes when you put them through too much, they don’t always bounce back. When you venture that deep into a moral gray area with someone, just how far is too far? With the portrayal of this relationship, I’m really interested in exploring the the importance of finding one's moral compass in the tangle of our messy lives, and ultimately recognizing how to love yourself in a difficult situation.”
