Evan Rachael Wood - Artist/Activist/Survivor
"Narcissist's Playbook" is a feature-length documentary that exposes the hidden tactics of psychological abuse through expert insight, survivor testimony, and the shocking confessions of self-aware narcissists. This film reveals how manipulation infiltrates our most intimate relationships, workplaces, and global power structures—and gives you the tools to recognize and resist it.
Director’s Statement
MARK VICENTE - Director/Cult Whistleblower
They've Been Playing by a Secret Rulebook. Until Now.
From director Mark Vicente (HBO's "The Vow"), this isn't just another documentary about toxic relationships. It's the first full-length documentary to feature self-aware malignant narcissists openly revealing their tactics, with unprecedented access to both perpetrators and the experts working to stop them.
Where HBO's The Vow showed the damage, Narcissist’s Playbook shows the design.

Why This Story Can't Wait
Right now, millions of people are trapped in the confusion of psychological abuse. They know something is wrong, but they can't name it. They're told they're "too sensitive" or "imagining things." They're isolated, gaslit, and blamed for their own mistreatment
This film breaks that spell.
For the first time ever, narcissists themselves reveal their playbook on camera. No speculation. No theory. Just the unvarnished truth about how they target, groom, and control their victims—from intimate partners to entire organizations.
Most documentaries disappear into the streaming void. We're building something different: a cultural earthquake that validates survivors, educates the unaware, and creates lasting change in how we understand power and abuse.
The patterns are everywhere once you see them. In toxic relationships, dysfunctional families, corrupt institutions, and authoritarian leaders. It's all the same playbook—just different scales.
