A New Yorker obsessed with appearances believes he’s found the perfect solution to his problems: start a men’s support group.

What begins as an attempt to repair his image quickly spirals into something far more complicated, forcing him to confront the very insecurities he’s spent years trying to hide.

Depresso is a sharp character-driven drama that examines performative masculinity, vulnerability, and the uncomfortable gap between who we pretend to be and who we really are.

Written and directed by Alexander Pasquale
Starring Khial Watson and Stephen Konnovitch

From the filmmaker:

“Depresso explores the performance of masculinity and the ways many men seek validation, status, and approval while avoiding genuine vulnerability.”
