Support female-led short, 'Blue Light Therapy'!

Blue Light Therapy is an experimental short film exploring the interlacing lives of two New Yorkers as they fumble through their chaotic, maudlin, and dysfunctional day-to-day obsessions. There's desperation. There's dancing. There's cake.

Obsession never tasted so sweet.

Written by Chloe Mollis-McBride, Blue Light Therapy was born from bizarre dreams (okay…more like nightmares) in the early days of the pandemic. Devoid of dialogue but steeped in metaphors, this weird little short is a bittersweet ode to our complicated relationships with people, places, and things and a celebration of our collective resilience.
