Group: The Schopenhauer Effect - Director Alexis Lloyd

A real psychoanalyst and eight actors… GROUP: THE SCHOPENHAUER EFFECT drop us into the center of a weekly group run by Dr. Elliot Zeisel, a real New York psychoanalyst with more than 50 years of experience. Dr. Zeisel intervened and reacted in real time as he would in his actual daily practice. His presence intentionally blurs the line between performance and reality, creating live tension where fiction feeds reality and reality feeds fiction. When newcomer Alexis (Thomas Sadoski) joins a Manhattan therapy group and reveals he wants to write a TV series based on their sessions, it threatens the group’s balance and exposes everyone’s vulnerabilities. Director and writer Alexis Lloyd brings to life a great ensemble of actors that includes; Lucy Walters, Bernardo Cubría, Teresa Avia Lim, Ezra Barnes, Cara Ronzetti, Elisha Lawson, Gabriela Kohen and Dr. Elliot Zeisel as Dr. Ezra Hertzfeld.
