PITCH

A mind-bending psychological thriller that delves into the darkest corners of obsession, manipulation, and the human psyche. The film follows Heather, a woman whose initial seductive charm masks a terrifying and sadistic nature. When she lures Gunnar into her bedroom under false pretenses, the atmosphere shifts violently as she binds him to the bed and begins a brutal campaign to extract a deeply buried secret from him. As Gunnar becomes her captive, subjected to Heather’s increasingly twisted methods, the audience is plunged into a world of unrelenting terror.

Meanwhile, Tiffany, Gunnar’s fiancée, teams up with Dan to search for her missing love. As they unravel the mystery, Dan’s own troubled and hidden past begins to emerge, revealing a dark history that Tiffany had always helped him suppress. However, the investigation takes a horrifying turn when Tiffany discovers the shocking truth: Dan and Heather are the same person. The two rooms—one where Gunnar is held captive, the other where Tiffany desperately searches for answers—are revealed to be in the same house, connected by a nightmarish truth that Dan and Heather are not only one, but both part of a twisted scheme of torment.

Tiffany soon finds herself imprisoned alongside Gunnar, trapped in a harrowing nightmare orchestrated by Heather, who alone knows the chilling reason behind their torment. With every passing moment, Tiffany must race against time to understand the dark connection between herself, Gunnar, and Dan, and ultimately find a way to escape before it’s too late.

Dancing With Myself is an unforgettable, spine-chilling journey into the mind of a manipulator, where perception, reality, and terror blur into one nightmarish experience. It’s a psychological thriller that will leave audiences questioning every moment and every character, as they unravel the complex web of secrets that binds them all.
