A sane woman fakes the symptoms of a mentally unstable patient in order to be admitted into a mental institution for a secret psychiatric experiment.
Writer Anya Bay is a Russian born American Writer, Producer and Actress. She came to the US at the age of 17 on her own in the hopes of making the world a better place through the power of filmmaking. Anya started her journey working as an Actress on various films, commercials, music videos. Falling in love with the production world and wanting to explore how “things are actually done”, she transitioned into the producing department as a Production Coordinator then Manager, and eventually Producer for multiple projects of different scale and genre.
But being a passionate storyteller, having a great sense of humor and charisma, Anya decided it was time to tell her own stories and she started learning the craft of screenwriting. She has co-written her first couple of screenplays for thriller/horror features (“Agony”, “Snowbound”), followed by serious dramatic pieces (“I Am Normal”, “Underloved”) and comedy TV pilots (“Love Sucks”, “Legally Blind”).
Director Olia Oparina was inspired by the Soviet Propaganda and Siberian Fairy Tales. She writes and directs stories that explore primal emotions and tap into the human psyche. As a multi-linguist (Russian, Mandarin Chinese) with a diverse background, Olia focuses on folk thrillers and psychological dramas that break stereotypes and entice audiences to see the world’s diversity.
Olia is currently a member of the Disney Inclusion Initiative CTDI and the Blackmagic Future Studio Director’s Program (mentioned in Variety). Her first feature film “Snowbound” was screened at 70th Cannes Marche du Film and distributed worldwide. Her most recent short film”I AM NORMAL” has recently started a successful festival run and been selected for academy qualifying festivals, including Cinequest.
