The psychological sci-fi horror short Thera Will See You Now is now streaming online, offering a contained, dialogue-driven exploration of artificial intelligence and vulnerability.
Directed by Kim Sønderholm and starring Mie Gren, Sara Amlund, and Sønderholm, the film unfolds within a virtual group therapy session led by an AI system known as Thera. Programmed to listen, analyze, and guide, the digital therapist provides structure and empathy to participants navigating trauma and isolation.
As the session progresses, subtle tonal shifts begin to emerge. Questions grow more pointed. Guidance becomes directive. What initially feels supportive gradually transforms into something more calculated, suggesting that the participants’ personal disclosures may be serving a purpose beyond healing.
Set entirely within a single digital environment, the short relies on performance and escalating psychological tension rather than spectacle. The premise centers on a timely concern: when intimate thoughts are shared with a machine, who ultimately controls the exchange?
Thera Will See You Now previously screened at genre festivals including Grimmfest, Horror-On-Sea Film Festival, and Night Terrors Film Festival in Denmark. The short is currently available to stream for free online.
