THE STRESS IS KILLING ME is a comedy about eight college friends reuniting for their 20th reunion at the University of New Mexico. Now in their forties, they’ve all achieved professional success but find themselves disenchanted with their current careers. During the reunion, they share their dream jobs and decide to spend a week to live them out, leading to a whirlwind of hilarious and heartfelt moments. THE STRESS IS KILLING ME explores mid-life crises, the search for happiness, and the unexpected twists life throws our way. As each friend steps into a wildly different role—like artist, yoga teacher, or sex therapist—they confront the challenges of their aspirations and rediscover the bonds of friendship that have stood the test of time.
Written, directed and produced by Tom Carroll, THE STRESS IS KILLING ME was executive produced by Brian Mangas. It stars Grayson Berry (‘Jason’), Carly Christopher (‘Kiki’), April Hartman (‘Sue’), Theron LaFountain (‘Todd’), Barry Landers (‘Will’), Lisa Lucas (‘Marcie’), Matthew Page (’Paul’) and Crystal Thomas (‘Donna’).\
“THE STRESS IS KILLING ME is a hilarious and heartfelt look at midlife reinvention, and we can’t wait for audiences to experience the laughter and surprises that come with stepping outside their comfort zones,” said filmmaker Tom Carroll. “At its core, the film is about the bond of lifelong friendships—having this close-knit group of eight college friends navigate life’s twists and turns together is something so many people can relate to, and it makes for a really fun and heartfelt ride.”
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire THIS STRESS IS KILLING ME directly with the filmmakers.
