On the way to their weekly THERAPY GROUP, a bickering couple have been KIDNAPPED and tossed in the trunk of their car, being driven off to an uncertain DOOM.
Undeterred, they call in to their group session for help -- but, wouldn’t you know it?? — it’s ROLE-PLAY night. Nobody’s taking them seriously.
They’re on their own. And every second counts. Time to work this relationship stuff out, fast.
Half-thriller, half screwball comedy — CHOAS is an electric romp into the myriad of modern relationships, and their quests to keep that ‘spark’ alive.
Shot on a crowdfunded budget of $30k (big shout out to our producer & crowdfund captain ELIZABETH MIHELICH!) over a period of two nights in the height of COVID — this was a labor of love and an absolute blast to make. (Check out the BTS vignette below!)
