A Different Man

Competition 2024
© Faces Off LLC
Ambitious New York actor Edward undergoes a radical surgical procedure to drastically transform his appearance. As a result, a lot of things change in his life – and yet everything remains disturbingly the same. Even though he may have changed outwardly and can start a new life, he is still who he is and not who he wants to be. Then he misses out on the role of a lifetime and his new dream face turns into a nightmare.
A Different Man is a dark and yet witty thriller that delves into the murky sphere between self-perception and how others perceive us.
