A Split of the Psyche

  • Alexis Marie Sera
In this psychological thriller, a man in his mid 20s undergoes Brief Psychotic Disorder (AKA Brief Reactive Psychosis) due to extreme stress. As he works, he receives an upsetting message and shortly afterwards trips and falls, injuring his head and sets off a split of his psyche after he awakens. He experiences hallucinations, delusions, and catatonic behaviour. In the film we witness the interior of his mental breakdown through his dreams and symbolic imagery combing with increasing suspense.
