'Faces'

Casting "Faces," a short film based on the short story by acclaimed novelist Aimee Bender (who has personally green-lit this adaptation), "Faces" is an intimate exploration of identity and the invisible walls between us. Synopsis: The story follows a 12-year-old boy, William, who struggles with prosopagnosia, or facial blindness. Unable to recognize people's faces, including his own mother's, William attempts to navigate his condition and his mother's efforts to connect, resorting to deceptive tactics to appear "normal." "Faces" centers on themes of self-perception, love, difference, and the profound difficulty of truly knowing another person, even your own child. The production is seeking grounded, naturalistic performances.
