“One should become the master of one’s mind rather than let one’s mind master him.” -Nichiren
Inspired by her father's tragic suicide, Stephanie Michelle created the character ‘Razum’, the personification of the mind, in her award-nominated screenplay Bloom. Through the captivating story of Rose, an aspiring actress who goes after her dreams despite constantly being derailed by the inner critic, Bloom illuminates the universal struggle with the inner voice that tries to sabotage our lives. Bloom inspires us to transcend limitations and achieve our greatness, reminding us which voice truly matters.
We have a deep understanding of the profound grief experienced by those who have lost a loved one to suicide or addiction. As a heartfelt tribute, we will have a dedicated credits page in the film to honor and remember those who have passed away due to suicide or addiction.

“This has literally helped me see my own brain as “less weird” because I can identify the voices that aren’t mine/don’t resonate.”
“Originally intended for personal healing, Bloom grew into something greater. It wasn't until I read the full manuscript aloud that I realized its universal significance. Guided by intuition, this project evolved, unearthing the truth within us.”
