MINOR PREMISE (2020)—A brilliant but emotionally troubled neuroscientist tests an experimental device on himself, inadvertently fracturing his consciousness into multiple versions of his personality. As these conflicting selves clash and spiral out of control, he faces the terrifying consequences of splitting his mind. A taut psychological sci-fi thriller, the film explores identity, obsession, and the limits of human cognition in a high-stakes race against time and the self.
