Short Synopsis: | Dutch top model Rianne van Rompaey takes a surreal turn for short film Faces, written and directed by David Findlay, examining the many personas we embody in different corners of our lives. Starring alongside Belgian actress Astrid Whettnall, van Rompaey finds herself caught between dream and reality from the back of a Paris taxi, struggling to make it on time for a mysterious theater performance of her own creation. While details of the performance remain unclear, even to herself, the journey enters the absurd, moving through the organic shifts and possibilities that exist within our chosen identities, asking the question, “Where does the self end, and where does the act begin?”. |
