FREESTYLE DIGITAL MEDIA RELEASES DRAMA FEATURE “INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS”

Mumblecore Drama Feature from All-New Indie Studio HBHK Sets Digital Debut on North American VOD Platforms and DVD January 13, 2026

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, January 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has just released the mumblecore drama feature film INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS, now available to rent/own on North American digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms, as well as on DVD, starting January 13, 2026. INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS is the first feature film from the newly formed independent studio HBHK.

INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS tells the story of Gabe Torres, a struggling filmmaker who spends an awkward week moving out after breaking up with his girlfriend, Sasha Khosravi. As Gabe ponders whether or not to give up on the dream, his therapist, Dr. Martha, succumbs to unethical temptations as a result of their sessions. Meanwhile, Sasha’s family-arranged date with a new guy goes awry, leaving both exes spiraling and questioning how or why to move forward.

Written and directed by Saumene Mehrdady in his feature film debut, INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS was produced by Mehrdad Sarlak and Joel Villegas Saldaña. Featured actors include: Sarah Chang Tadayon (‘Sasha Khosravi’), Alexander Morales (‘Gabe Torres’) and Angela Barber (‘Dr. Martha’).

“With INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS I wanted to make something that focuses on three dimensions of dissonance in our current moment- to be creative in a culture that’s been increasingly devaluing it, to be a lover in an increasingly loveless and transactional world, and the struggle to unblur one’s professional ethics under the weight of longing,” said filmmaker Saumene Mehrdady; “INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS is a movie about desire, doubt, and the things we do when we’re afraid of being unseen.”

Freestyle Digital Media negotiated a deal to acquire INTRUSTIVE THOUGHTS directly with HBHK and Glen Reynolds at Circus Road Films.
