Celebrity psychic Frank avoids reading his own tarot cards, but at age 80, he finally sits on the other side of the table, allowing me to read him with a camera and enter his psyche through his dreams.
▪ Synopsis
In 2012, reeling from the pain of a broken heart, I met Frank, “one of the best psychics in New York.” Frank is a celebrity psychic specializing in love, but he has avoided reading himself. As I begin to read him with my camera and my camera and I become his medium, our relationship develops.
