Directed by Kelley Kali ("I'm Fine (Thanks for Asking)"), "Jagged Mind" is about a woman plagued by blackouts and strange visions that lead her to discover she's stuck in a series of time loops, possibly related to her mysterious new girlfriend.

The feature, now titled "Jagged Mind," is written by Allyson Morgan ("Sitting"). "Jagged Mind" is part of the studio's existing slate of horror features for Hulu, including "Grimcutty," "Matriarch," "Clock," and the upcoming "Appendage" and "The Mill."

"Jagged Mind" was developed by 20th Digital Studio with David Worthen Brooks, Arbi Pedrossian, and Jenna Cavelle as executive producers.
