COMEDY Festival TV PILOT: Group Therapy, by Jaycee J. Brill
1ST SCENE SCREENPLAY READINGS • 4m 27s
In this dark comedy, 7 unique and relatable characters venture out of their comfort zone through group exercises, exposure therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy. Following each of the characters in their personal lives, (Carmen in the pilot episode) we see how they interact with the world outside and inside therapy, and how their personalities and symptoms vary. As their personal lives spiral downward, the group becomes more open, honest, and cohesive. Through humor and vulnerability, the characters make self-discoveries and are one step closer to self-acceptance.
