Shrinking Violet

After the apparent suicide of chat-show king Philip Fielding, Detective Sarah Harper's first assignment as a C.I.D. officer is a seemingly routine interview with Fielding’s former psychotherapist, Dr Michael Patrick. But with the discovery that Fielding was not the first of Dr Patrick’s clients to take their own lives, Sarah begins her own cross-country investigation, convinced that everything is not as it seems. As her fixation on the case begins to bleed in to her home life, it becomes an obsession that could cost her something much more than her relationship with her husband and daughter.

Adapted from the short story by Brighton author Andrew Campbell-Kearsey, thriller Shrinking Violet was the first film from Thorny Devil Productions, and made Official Selection at HollyShorts Film Festival, as well as screening at the Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner.
