Writer-Director Stevan Lee Mraovitch Unleashes Outrageous Indie Comedy Doctor, Doctor Starring YouTube Star Steven He
From Casting Rejections to Viral Stardom – Steven He Lands His First Feature Lead Role in Doctor, Doctor, Premiering March 21 on Apple TV and Prime Video
NEW YORK, March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Award-winning filmmaker Stevan Lee Mraovitch, of Three Hammers Productions, blends satire and slapstick in his latest indie comedy, Doctor, Doctor, premiering worldwide March 21, 2025, on Apple TV, Prime Video, and InDemand.
The film marks a milestone for YouTube sensation Steven He—best known for the viral "Emotional Damage" meme and his 24+ million followers—as he takes on his first feature lead role. Combining Molière-inspired satire with modern absurdist humor, Doctor, Doctor explores medical paranoia, blind trust in authority, and the chaos that erupts when an unqualified hypochondriac is mistaken for a doctor.
A Hypochondriac, a Fake Doctor, and a Hostage Crisis
Oliver, a neurotic hypochondriac, is mistaken for a doctor in a failing rural clinic. With zero medical training, he must improvise through bizarre emergencies and eccentric patients. Against all odds, his paranoia and unconventional "treatments" miraculously work—leading to hilarious and unintended results.
Blending laugh-out-loud misunderstandings, accidental heroism, and escalating absurdity, Doctor, Doctor delivers rapid-fire visual gags, slapstick antics, and biting satire, reminiscent of comedy classics like Airplane! and The Naked Gun.
A Powerhouse Comedy Cast
Starring Steven He in his breakout feature role, the film boasts a seasoned ensemble cast, including Damian Young (Ozark, Snowpiercer), Guillermo Iván (Trade, Vantage Point), Francesca Root-Dodson (Gotham, Succession), and Frank Harts (Billions, The Leftovers).
The Origins of Doctor, Doctor
"At the very beginning of the pandemic, I stepped outside in a swimming mask, a heavy jacket, and plastic gloves—convinced it was the only way to stay safe. Looking back, it was absurd, but at the time, it felt completely rational. That moment became the seed for this film. Doctor, Doctor transforms those early anxieties into satire, using humor to reflect on how fear spirals into chaos."
— Stevan Lee Mraovitch, Writer-Director
Inspired by Molière's The Imaginary Invalid, Doctor, Doctor reimagines classic farce for the modern world, satirizing medicine, blind trust in authority, and the absurdity of unchecked power—just as Molière did in the 17th century.
