In 2015, Guss wrote and directed the post-horror short A Private Session. Through its deconstructed narrative, the film immerses the audience in the chilling mental landscape of women grappling with gaslighting and psychological violence. A Private Session was nominated for film competitions in Australia, UK, USA, Italy, Mexico and Colombia.

Guss's directing style is an intricate tapestry of interpretation. It unfolds through a minimalist, seductive, and often with an absurdly-infused aesthetic. His productions have garnered acclaim at global festivals and reached millions of viewers worldwide.
