“Uncoupling” threatens to lead to separating from their sanity for these characters.

Breaking Glass Pictures has announced a May 16 VOD/digital release for SAPIOSEXUAL, the latest from writer/director/star Deborah Twiss, who co-wrote, produced and starred in the rape-revenge/vigilante shocker A GUN FOR JENNIFER. David Edwin and Nick Hardin also topline SAPIOSEXUAL; the synopsis: “Three people gather for an ‘uncoupling celebration’ arranged by the aging narcissist Liam [Hardin]. Both Hannah [Twiss] and Freddie [Edwin], Liam’s guests as well as victims, have dark ties to his past and plenty of their own secrets. When the power goes out during a thunderstorm, the deepest truths are revealed, changing each person’s life forever.”

“I wanted more than anything, with my team, to bring back the concept of the Dogma95 films,” Twiss says, “and thanks to Breaking Glass Pictures, we were able to fulfill the vision. “SAPIOSEXUAL explores another perspective, a much darker perspective, of the #MeToo movement. As a young filmmaker/actress in the NYC 1990s indie film scene, I witnessed all sorts of wild situations. In our fun little thriller, we dive fully into the world of narcissism and control and the potential consequences. Hang on tight. I guarantee you it is not what anyone expects.”
