BREAKING CHARACTER

She played every role they asked for. The hardest one was herself.

Synopsis

Mara is a working actress in her late twenties who keeps losing jobs to couches and casting politics. When she finally lands a role on a prestige production, she discovers the part requires her to perform a version of herself she doesn't recognize — and the industry has no patience for her discomfort. A sharp, intimate drama about creative compromise, the cost of visibility, and what it means to stay true to yourself in a business that profits from your erasure.
