'Blue My Mind' director Lisa Bruhlmann reveals her inspiration behind the mermaid horror flick and why she wants to do sensual cinema

Lisa Bruhlmann's latest film is far from a fairytale. A dark, twisted story about a teen who turns into a monstrous fish, 'Blue My Mind' isn't for the weak of heart.

Lisa Bruhlmann's latest film 'Blue My Mind' will give you the chills, simply because of how close to reality it is. Sounds strange doesn't it? A fantasy horror movie being so real that it's scary? Once you watch the film, it won't seem strange at all. The epic coming of age story trumps every expectation you would have from a film of the genre, in the best way possible. A tale of empowerment told in the most gripping way, the film deals with puberty like no other. It follows a teenager named Mia whose life is turned upside down when she finds herself morphing into a fish. Make no mistake, this isn't anything like 'The Little Mermaid' - Mia blisters and bleeds and eats raw fish all the while drowning her sorrows in self-harm, drugs, alcohol, and promiscuity.
