Introduce Yourself : Ani Alanakian by Ani Alanakian

Ani Alanakian

I write psychological stories where reality slowly fractures—where what feels real begins to shift, repeat, and resist explanation.

Right now, I’m developing a limited series called Miracle of Delusion, about a psychologist who enters a home where grief has taken a very precise… and unsettling form.

I’m here to connect with filmmakers, writers, and anyone drawn to character-driven psychological storytelling.

Happy to be part of this community.

Hello Ani Alanakian. My first script was actually a psych drama. However, since this is not really my field, it's the only script I wrote in that genre. However, I do enjoy reading and watching the genre.

Cheers and best with your writing.

Hi everyone,

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome and kind words—I truly appreciate it.

It’s always inspiring to connect with people who are drawn to psychological storytelling, especially stories that explore the space where reality begins to shift and something deeper starts to emerge. That’s exactly the kind of world I’m trying to build with Miracle of Delusion, so it means a lot to see that it resonates with you.

I also love hearing about your own experiences with the genre—whether writing, watching, or even composing for it. It’s such a rich space creatively, and I’m really glad to be part of a community that appreciates it.

Looking forward to connecting more, sharing ideas, and hopefully collaborating in the future.

Warm regards,

Ani Alanakian

Ani Alanakian This sounds really intriguing especially the idea of reality slowly fracturing. That space between what’s real and what feels real can be very unsettling in the best way.

Miracle of Delusion has a great hook already, particularly with the psychologist entering a grief-driven environment that opens up a lot of psychological and emotional layers.

Curious are you approaching it more from a grounded psychological angle, or leaning into something more surreal/unexplainable as it unfolds?
