Synopsis:

A rising actor reaches stardom by taking method acting harmfully serious. Things escalade when he tries to teach others his way by forcing them to “be the role”.

Review by Andie Karvelis:

There is a darker side to the world of acting. One that goes far beyond Stanislavsky’s teachings of “What if…”. One where imagination and empathy are non-existent and you must become the character. Writer/Director/Actor Kaze Uzumaki explores this slippery slope, weaving a story that is suspenseful and dark.

The cinematography by Konstantin Freyer is absolutely stunning. He is able to capture the mood of the film with each and every frame. From the moment the film opens you are intrigued, and as that first scene progresses you feel like Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole. Heart racing, a million questions going through your mind and this very uneasy feeling.

Kaze Uzumaki understands how to build upon that uneasy feeling through the story but also through the music. Philemon Montaser is responsible for the score, and he delivers perfection.

The music underneath the performances ( which are already wonderful ) elevated them even more.

This film is not only incredibly well done, it leaves you asking yourself: How far would you go to get a role?
