Face

Animated Short

FACE is a hyper-real CGI conceptual film driven by silent thought-provoking emotion where I open a window to my Autistic world.
It covers aspects of isolation, the feeling of not fitting in despite the ability to weave in and out of situations with chameleon-like qualities.
Masking is an important part of my autism but it’s also about making sense and accepting my own masking.
FACE also taps into experiences of bullying, being held back, being controlled, but also plays on the metaphor of thinking outside-the-box, turning a negative into something positive and powerful.
The overall message is, being neurodiverse is amazing and should be celebrated. I am not an exhibit. I am not broken, but simply misunderstood.
