King Ed
Ed didn’t just get dumped, per se — but he did encounter a “relationship upheaval.” And that break-up didn’t leave him with crippling depression, necessarily — he’s just not “emotionally thriving.” His hunt for a cure leads him to the office of The Ketamine Oracle: an alternative therapist-slash-modern-day-myth who just might be addicted to some substances herself.
Directed by Nick Fascitelli (USA)
