Synopsis
Kevin finds himself trapped in a surreal and haunting struggle - everyone he connects with ends up dead.
As he performs his track “I Think I Need Therapy,” we follow Kevin on a darkly twisted journey through encounters with friends, lovers, and strangers. Each interaction begins innocently enough, but ends in tragedy, leaving Kevin to question his reality, his sanity, and whether he’s cursed… or something far more disturbing.

From the Judges
From the Judges
The editing snaps together a darkly comic, blood-slicked spectacle that plays beautifully against the sweet, wide-eyed presence of its lead, and the whole cast commits to the mayhem with real relish. Lavish craft runs through every frame, from the props and set pieces to the costumes and effects, all of it cut to sit hand in glove with the song. A gleefully bold, creative piece of music-video making.
