It’s late at night, and a tired, overworked editor still plows on with work at his desk. A phone call from a desperate friend, asking for a favor for one of his projects where the concerned editor left him in the lurch, soon changes the course of the night for the protagonist. The current task now starts off with three strange videos, followed by stranger visions, shadows, and silhouettes that begin to completely overpower his reality. <br><br> 

Are these mere imaginings, or is there a malicious, supernatural force afoot? Is this why the previous editor fell out of the project? And most importantly, does a similar fate await the protagonist as well? The final result raises all of these questions, while also playing with the character’s own internal demons and disturbing ideas. Additionally, it evidences the investment of thought in narrative-building.

'At the Therapist' is a conversation around mental health, attempting an approach that steps away slightly from what you might expect from that premise. A therapist meets his patients one after the other, each of them having dealt with, and now discussing, very severe, intense trauma, and episodes of violence. <br><br>The therapist is unperturbed, listening and advising his clients with a calm demeanour. However, it is only when they leave, and he chooses a moment by himself that a revelation is made for the viewer. Despite a little lack of control in the department of sound, the film exhibits potential in performances, as well as the desire to weave a story. Throughout, the question at its heart remains - who listens to the troubles of those who make themselves available to everyone, but have no one to turn to themselves?
