TV PILOT SEX THERAPY
The best thing about this pilot screenplay is that it is funny, which goes a
long way for the producers. You have no idea how many sit-com pilots are
submitted that simply aren't funny. This is usually because so much time has been used to set up character
background and premise, the writers forgot to make it funny. “Sex Therapy”
manages to do this while introducing the concept of a slightly schizophrenic sex
therapist who needs a date worse than her clients.
CINÉWOMEN MAGAZINE - MADNESS THE SHORT FILM
We have been really impressed with your film, and we appreciate the way you
capture unconscious emotional reactions, as well as your refined low-key
cinematography and surreal atmospheres reminding us of Werner Herzog's early
work.

VANCOUVER WOMEN IN FILM AND TV SPOTLIGHT AWARDS
Michelle Brezinski’s courageous film Madness is a testament to the filmmaker’s own healing from PTSD, aimed at bringing hope to other sufferers of this crippling condition. Brezinski’s collaboration with Director Shannon Kohli has been recognized internationally for the excellence in production that brings this emotional story to the screen with period sets and design well beyond the resources available to the filmmakers. Michelle has gifted us with a very personal film that overcomes many challenges, launching her forward toward a promising and inspiring career as a bold and brave storyteller.

actress and creative storyteller.

GLASGOW MONTHLY FILM FESTIVAL REVIEW
MADNESS’ is wonderfully directed, has well made sets and cinematography and we particularly liked the sound editing and design. The main actress’ performance is also notably. Shannon Kohli and Michele Brezinski’s story is a good, entertaining short film that will take you back in time not to teach you history but to make you partially experience the feelings of the people who lived in such terror.
