Inside The Mind of a Narcissist
A Mockumentary-Style Drama About Power, Loyalty, Manipulation… and the Cost of Believing in the Wrong People
Logline
A filmmaker revisits the people who shaped her journey — the charming, the powerful, the spiritual, and the emotionally dangerous — confronting loyalty, betrayal, and the psychological realities of narcissism in a story that blends humor, confession, and truth-telling.

Gangsta to Grace: Inside the Mind of a Narcissist explores what happens when charisma becomes control, love becomes leverage, and loyalty turns into a weapon. Through storytelling, cinematic flair, and emotionally honest reflection, the film unpacks the human cost of surviving narcissistic relationships — personally, spiritually, and professionally. Equal parts confession, commentary, and cultural therapy, this project highlights courage, accountability, and the power of reclaiming your narrative.
