Fractured Sanity – Episode 2: The Comfort Zone

Continuing her investigation, Sam turns to Tomika Simmons, Elias’s partner, for guidance. Tomika reveals that Elias has exhibited strange, almost abusive behaviour since filming began. Sam believes that Elias is not only physically hurting himself but also causing harm to those around him.  

Fractured Sanity is a gripping psychological thriller that explores the impacts of visceral devotion to artistry on an up-and-coming actor and his friends and family. We follow Sam Harper (Lily Parisi) as she reflects on the disappearance of her closest friend, Elias Kostakis (Oscar Ascione). Elias is an eager young actor who has been cast in the feature film titled The Rivers End. Directed by the mysterious yet captivating Victoria Langford (Danika Peets), Elias descends into a pit of abuse, assault, and debauchery as he loses himself in his work. 

Across four episodes, Sam and an ensemble of characters set out to uncover the truths behind Elias’s disappearance and bring him back.
