Project Synopsis
Casting "Facade," a 6-minute thriller student short film. MIA discovers the alternate reality she's been forced upon by her husband’s manipulation. She struggles to break free from his control only to find herself fighting for her life in a chilling and deadly game. With themes of psychological control, isolation, and self-discovery. The tone and style will appeal to fans of movies like "Black Swan," where emotional manipulation and disturbing psychological dynamics take center stage. The production will focus on creating a visual atmosphere of unease, gradually building tension until the harrowing final act, leaving audiences both disturbed and moved by Mia’s tragic journey.

Character 1
MIA
Age
20-30
Gender
Female
Description
A woman caught in a mentally warped marriage gradually discovers the depths of her husband's manipulation and control. She is initially blissful, domestic, and seemingly content with her life, but her world unravels as she uncovers the horrifying truth about her "husband." Her quiet rebellion slowly morphs into a desperate fight for survival. Note: The role contains suggestive sexual content.
Character 2
KANE
Age
25-45
Gender
Male
Description
Kane is handsome, seemingly charming, and always composed— traits that mask his manipulative, cruel, and sociopathic disregard for women and their well-being. He's a killer who's charm hides an insidious darkness; he sees Mia as a possession rather than a partner. Note: The role contains suggestive sexual content.
Character 3
Bryce
Age
20-40
Gender
Male
Description
A secondary character who serves as an enabler of Kane’s abuse. He is less involved in the direct manipulation of Mia but is complicit in the conversation about Kane's twisted sense of power over her. Casual, nondescript; his presence in the house is largely to serve Kane’s twisted sense of dominance.
