Watch closely as this Hitchcockian dark comedy about a suicidal writer and criminal psychiatrist keeps you guessing until the very end.

Donald Spamari, a failed writer and brokenhearted young man, must decide if he is truly suicidal or if his failed attempts are a cry for help. The culprit of his broken heart, an ex girlfriend who has witnessed his recent mental decline, is able to secure him an appointment with a revered psychiatrist notorious for his work with countless criminal minds. Despite his irritation with being linked to the dredges of society, Donny cannot tell his former love no and takes the appointment, a decision that will change his life forever.

Who determines insanity?

Hello to all. I'm excited to present our film "THE PATIENT". It is a joint project of Relax Productions and McPherson Productions. Filmed in only 3 days on a very low budget, "The Patient" represents the very hard work of our talented cast and crew. We are extremely proud of the film and hope you all enjoy it as much as we have.

I was with a large group of people who all saw this film for the first time together. Not only did the entire crowd get drawn into the story, there were times everyone laughed out loud together. What more could a film maker want? It was a wonderful short, and everyone loved it! Not the last we’ve heard from this guy…. The Smokestack Barons

The movie was hilarious with a great perspective. Shows the best advice comes from the strangest of people.
