Documentary Series | Australia | Host-led | Mental Health, Gender, Diagnosis
An investigative and intimate docu-series following a host’s journey of self-discovery through the lens of mental health misdiagnosis in women. From ADHD to Autism to BPD, she navigates the gendered maze of psychiatric labels — meeting professionals, women on the street, and others seeking answers. Loosely inspired by the rawness of Slutever but grounded in Australian reality, this series challenges stigma and sparks new understanding of what it means to be “mentally ill” while AFAB.
🌀 What if the truth behind women’s mental health diagnoses was stranger than fiction — and more relatable than we’ve dared admit?

🌀 When your idol falls, will you save them — or survive them?

Series or Trilogy | Mythic Sci-Fi | Trauma, Origin, Power
Abbey is a girl raised by chaos: no stable home, no father, no direction, and a mother who never healed. She’s depressed, addicted, and drifting. Until she walks into the ocean — and triggers something ancient. Turns out, every human has origins across the galaxy. Our bloodlines were seeded from other planets. And Abbey is the first with all the powers of every caste — a being designed to bring balance, or destruction. As she uncovers a conspiracy dating back to the moon landing — where a message warned us that God is not what we think, and Lilith holds the key — Abbey must decide whether to heal a broken world, or let it burn.
🌀 The world says she’s crazy. Maybe she’s just remembering.
