The Chip Person

About This Movie

The Chip Person has a gritty, raw edge that captures the struggles of sobriety in a way that's hauntingly real. Marty, our protagonist, finds himself in a world where the facade of recovery is constantly tested by Clement's almost cult-like grip on his sponsees. There's this unsettling atmosphere, with the pacing that creeps up on you, blending moments of tension with quiet reflection. The performances, especially between Marty and Clement, are intense and layered, showcasing a dance of manipulation and desperation. It’s the kind of film that lingers, making you question the lengths people will go for sobriety and connection.

The Chip Person is somewhat elusive in collector circles, with only a limited number of physical releases known. The film has been spotted mainly in independent film festivals and some niche streaming platforms, which contributes to its scarcity. Interest is growing among collectors due to its unique take on addiction and recovery, as well as its intense character dynamics, offering a compelling addition to discussions around addiction cinema.
