A film that delves into an issue more relevant today than ever before in our society.

LOGLINE

A rising artist haunted by her own thoughts must confront the darkness within - or risk losing herself forever.

SYNOPSIS

What if your own mind became your greatest enemy?

 

In Mind of Thoughts, Elle Davis, a rising artist, is on the verge of her breakthrough - but also on the brink of self-destruction. Beneath her creative genius lurks a relentless inner voice that feeds her self-doubt, twisting her thoughts into torment.

 

When an opportunity at an elite art school arises, Elle sees it as her chance to silence the chaos and prove she belongs. But under the gaze of the enigmatic Ms. Margret, her deepest fears resurface, and her thoughts begin to manifest in ways she can no longer ignore.

 

As the walls between imagination and reality blur, Elle is thrust into a harrowing confrontation with herself. With her future hanging in the balance, she must take a leap of faith - one that will redefine not just her art, but her very existence.

WHY I WANTED TO MAKE THIS FILM...

“We all live with an invisible force that shapes our reality - our thoughts. We process 70,000 a day, and 80% of them are negative. Our minds can be brilliant architects or ruthless destroyers, building us up one moment and breaking us down the next.

 

With Mind of Thoughts, I wanted to explore the weight of self-doubt, the shame around failure, and the quiet battles we all fight but rarely share. As women, we are conditioned to see failure as weakness, something to hide, not embrace. But failure is not an ending - it is a beginning. It is proof of effort, growth, and resilience.

 

This film is my way of giving shape to the invisible - of taking something as abstract as intrusive thoughts and turning them into something visceral, tangible, and raw. By integrating movement and dance, I wanted to capture the physical toll of an internal war - a fight we can’t always see, but one that is deeply felt.

 

At its core, Mind of Thoughts is about the battle to break free - from fear, from expectations, from the limits we place on ourselves. It is an invitation to step beyond self-doubt and into the unknown, where imperfection is not failure, but transformation.

- Charlotte Verminck
