Description

My Demon unfolds at a backyard ayahuasca ceremony in Los Angeles, where a woman seeking healing instead encounters the force she has worked hardest to suppress: her own anger. What begins as a carefully curated wellness ritual slowly fractures as suppressed emotions leak into the physical world, destabilizing relationships and proving that bad energy doesn’t stay politely contained — it spreads, quietly hijacking everyone in the room. Blending live action with AI-generated hallucinations, My Demon uses surreal imagery as a comedic extension of emotional distortion rather than spectacle. The intentionally imperfect visuals heighten the absurdity of the situation, mirroring the way unresolved feelings can feel intrusive, exaggerated, and impossible to ignore.
