ESP: Emotional Support Pets – JHern
JHern returns with a hilariously sharp short film, ESP (Emotional Support Pets) — a comedic spin on society’s growing reliance on furry (and not-so-furry) emotional crutches. Known as the bassist for The Colour Theory and now making waves as a writer and director, JHern blends wit, satire, and heart in this quirky tale born from real-life observations on the road.
Based in Phoenix, AZ, with roots in St. Louis’ music scene, JHern uses ESP to humorously explore a world where emotional baggage meets pet therapy—with an unexpected twist. It’s funny, oddly touching, and bound to make you rethink your next encounter with someone’s “emotional support lizard.”
ESP isn’t just a short film—it’s a reflection of modern anxieties dressed in comedy fur. Get ready to laugh, reflect, and maybe hug your pet a little tighter.
