An anachronistic public access TV channel plays host to a self-help guru with one goal- to scare viewers out of whatever addiction may be plaguing them.
Eight international directors take on these stories, presenting horrifying shorts focused on the darkest and most surreal side of addiction.

"I was lucky enough to attend the first ever Pastel Wasteland Horror Film festival this past weekend. Over one day it covered fifteen short films and the premiere of horror anthology 'I Am An Addict'. Featuring nine different segments - unsurprisingly centring around addiction, and a wraparound, there's plenty for all tastes....
...I Am An Addict delivers on its promise of dark horror. There's something for pretty much all genre fans but things do stay pretty bleak. It tackles addictions and difficult subjects in the most real and scary ways possible but always of course with an added horror twist. Be sure to check out this anthology as soon as you can."
