Vicki Helyar

Cantankerous loner Henriette struggles to better herself by way of a self-help book, candid video diaries and the reluctant friendships of a local busy-body and an ex-therapist.

Starting life as a TV sitcom screenplay, Abnormal the web series was an opportunity to showcase the character of Henriette and her flawed attempts at betterment in the face of her mental health struggles, a semi-biographical account of Vicki’s own experiences and willingness to laugh at them. Abnormal was written, shot, directed, edited – and the title character performed by – Vicki.
