(Gold Remi Award), New York Short Film Festival, Sarasota, Big Apple Film Festival (Honorable Mention) Focus Group is a dark comedy in which six strangers participate in an unusual market research group run by a jittery moderator played by Terry Kinney (The Game of Their Lives, Save the Last Dance). The members of the group are brought together to answer confusing questions, drink watery beer, draw pictures, and even play blindfolded games, all for a mysterious client behind a two-way mirror. But why is the moderator eliminating members of the group one by one? And who’s really on the other side of that mirror?
