A burned-out therapist fed up with her clients’ endless woes, ditches the couch for carnage, turning her skills—and her weapons—on those who hurt her patients in THERAPISSED, a blood-soaked grindhouse revenge fantasy where the time for talk is over.

irectors Statement:
“Life is a roller coaster of emotions, regardless if we get submerged by stress and lose sight of our intended life vision or goals. It’s inevitable to lose our composure when feeling drunk, sober, bored, lethargic, high or even overly-spiritual. It’s paramount we live our life with a healthy balance of both consciousness and love.
We must be mindful to selflessly help other’s when possible, for karma is real. Sometimes we all need help to overcome what could seem like insurmountable struggles or hardships. Every single human being has demons, both inner and terrestrial, that seem malicious and will blindside us leaving us in a pit of despair. Everyone needs loving help and support to overcome darkness from time to time.
Consistently, being diligent about improving ourselves to be the best, warm soul we can possibly be will not only improve ourselves but will resonate with others. We are all an ever-changing canvas. Paint yours with your genuine passions, profound love and be a shining light that will not only inspire; illuminating the world but also be a bright beacon of light that others just can’t help but to see.”
