💼 THE STRESS IS KILLING ME (dir. Tom Carroll) @vaguevisages.bsky.social

A reunion comedy with a clever premise: eight burned-out 30-somethings swap their real jobs for their “dream” ones. Chemistry’s there, but the script spreads thin.

🏠 ALL HAPPY FAMILIES (dir. Haroula Rose) @vaguevisages.bsky.social

Josh Radnor plays a sad Chicago actor living through family drama and chaos. A warm, slow-burn family comedy that’s more lived-in than groundbreaking.

🔪 INVADER (dir. Mickey Keating) @vaguevisages.bsky.social

A 70-minute panic attack: raw, relentless, and intentionally disorienting. Shaky cam, pounding sound, and no room to breathe. Less about plot, more about unease.
