About this movie

Analysis Paralysis is an LGBTQ romantic comedy about the intersection of imagination and anxiety, and the courage to reach for love. The story begins when Tyler O'Conner, a young gay author, visits a therapist and discovers that he suffers from an anxiety disorder commonly called "Analysis Paralysis" - an inability to take action without imaging the ways that each possible choice could go wrong. The problem is that, unchecked, the condition will lead Tyler into a state of complete inaction. To confront the disorder, Tyler decides to fight through his anxiety and ask his cute neighbor, Shane, out for coffee. Despite a flurry of imagined disasters, the date goes well, and Shane and Tyler ultimately become involved. Against all odds, the relationship moves forward, but not without every step of the way - sex, moving in together, and meeting Shane's parents - preceded by an avalanche of negative, albeit hilarious, fantasies. Finally, convinced that Shane is leaving as a result of an uncomfortable interaction with Shane's mom and dad, Tyler steels himself for what he sees as the inevitable rejection. But Shane has other plans…

Ratings and reviews

This was an enjoyable movie with a great story line, plot and the actors (Jason Gaffney and Kevin Held) were amazing. Plus there is a message for those dealing with anxiety. Would definitely recommend this movie.

I love this film, for a micro-budget movie (don't let that term fool you) it was very well made and has some very endearing characters. A fun light romcom. I can't wait for their next project. Im definitely a huge fan of the main actors.

This was a sweet love story with lots of comedy! We would recommend!
