ALTERED MINDS Official Trailer
 
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
 
Every family has its secrets.  Some, however, are far, far darker than others. ALTERED MINDS, a taut psychological thriller from director Michael Z. Wechsler, may just unearth more than any one family can bear.  Supported by an all-star ensemble led by Multi Emmy® and Tony® winner and Oscar® nominee Judd Hirsch, this "powerful, effective[1]" thriller arrives on loaded DVD on June 14 from Entertainment One and Rowish Productions.
 
Hirsch stars as ex-CIA psychiatrist-turned- humanitarian Nathaniel Schellner, renowned for his work with war orphans suffering from PTSD -- several of whom he and his wife (Caroline Lagerfelt) adopted.  About to succumb to cancer, Nathan welcomes the entire family - including adoptees Harry (C.S. Lee), Julie (Jaime Ray Newman) and Tommy (Ryan O'Nan) - back to their idyllic home for a final gathering before his death.  Unfortunately, the warm reunion spirals out of control when Tommy, a tormented novelist, makes a stunning  accusation that his father adopted his children not out of love but for dark experiments in mind control.  Plagued by terrifying visions of secret labs, underground cells and implanted electrodes, Tommy makes a desperate bid to save his sanity by uncovering family secrets before it's too late.
 
Judd Hirsch gives a career-redefining performance in an atmospheric thriller called "an impressive debut from a director in full control of the material...[that]boasts terrific production values, pitch-perfect performances, and an eerie soundscape of found noises that evoke the feel of a surreal nightmare."  And, for fans of cinema, the ALTERED MINDS DVD is loaded with specially-produced extras giving in-depth, behind-the-scenes looks at what it takes to make an independent film, from Day One through final edit.
 
ALTERED MINDS is currently available for download on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, YouTube, Vudu, Xbox and Playstation.

New York, NY (May 4, 2016) - Chris Hardwick (@hardwick) is back with his newest album, Funcomfortable(#Funcomfortable), out this week via Comedy Central Records. 

The "@midnight" host makes things very funcomfortable for the packed house at The Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco as he explores awkward and sometimes super creepy memories from both childhood and today. With "the energy of SpongeBob dipped in cocaine water," Hardwick delves into dealing with anxieties, finds the humor in joining the "Dead Dad Club" and shares deeply personal anecdotes that most people would be too embarrassed to say out loud.
