Plot

'Bliss' follows the story of Deezy, an artist based in Los Angeles that is suffering from a terrible creative block that only seems to get worse by the minute - as do her financial problems. Deezy's manager drops her because she can't finish her newest commissioned work, and she is desperate to find the light at the end of the tunnel. Deezy is convinced by her friend Courtney and her husband Dante to try and let her inhibitions loose with alcohol, sex and drugs. Deezy tries a substance that finally breaks the loop she has into and gives her the inspiration that she craved so much. She thinks that thanks to this particular drug, she is finally going to paint her great masterpiece. Her fling-slash-almost-boyfriend, Clive, is seriously worried about her sudden change in mood. Little does Deezy know about the dangerous side effects this drug can cause. She starts to have strong hallucinations and quickly develops a brutal violence streak and an unstoppable bloodlust that will endanger everyone in her life.

This film is directed and written by Joe Begos, who has been a director for other horror films such as 'Almost Humans', 'VFW' or 'The Mind's Eye'. The cast includes Dora Madison ('Dexter'), Tru Collins ('Insecure'), Rhys Wakefield ('True Detective'), Jeremy Gardner ('After Midnight'), Graham Skipper ('Almost Humans'), Chris McKenna ('State Affairs'), Mark Beltzman ('Billy Madison'), George Wendt ('Cheers'), among others.

Trivia

Director

This is the third Joe Begos full-lenght film in six years.

Hollywood

The director Joe Begos has talked about the idea in this film's plot: "I always wanted to make a movie about an artist in Los Angeles and not about someone in the beautiful Hollywood hills making millions of dollars as an artist. I wanted something that would showcase the dirty and shabby side of Los Angeles, that exist, but it seems that no one wants to show it on the big screen". He was inspired by his own situation of despair for not being able to do his art.

Sitges

'Bliss' was nominated to Best Film in the Midnight X-Treme category in the Sitges Film Festival.
