Synopsis

A powerful, award-winning documentary shifting the mental health narrative

Directed by 2x Oscar Winner Bill GuttentagNarrated by Michelle Trachtenberg (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gossip Girl)Music by Grammy-Winning Composer David Kahne (Paul McCartney, Sublime)

SPYRAL is an 82-minute psychological thriller and cinéma-vérité documentary told through the lens of a husband and father whose home videos reveal the disintegration of a family under the weight of undiagnosed bipolar disorder. Raw, real, and deeply human, it exposes the quiet chaos behind closed doors and the invisible scars left behind.

During its award-winning festival run, SPYRAL became a Trojan horse for empathy, a film that didn’t just move audiences, it mobilized them. Viewers left theaters wanting to talk, to share, and to make change.
