Project Synopsis
Showstorm is a character-driven, poetic indie drama following Saga, a Filipina immigrant artist navigating emotional burnout, ambition, and the quiet grief of survival in a new country. The story unfolds across four episodes, each inspired by a song from the creator’s original EP. Blending music, memory, and story into a cinematic exploration of identity, exhaustion, and love. This specific episode centers on a therapy session between Saga and Farrah, a grounded, intuitive therapist who helps her begin to untangle the grief behind her hustle. The tone is gentle, intimate, and emotionally rich.

Description
She’s a grounded, modern-day therapist with calm confidence and soul. She doesn’t ask questions just to check boxes, she actually sees people for who they are. Warm, dry humor. Big heart. Think: the friend who can call you out and hold space for your pain. This role is intimate and dialogue-heavy, set in a therapy scene with the series’ lead.
