THE CONTEMPORARY MAN

a short film by qvxdri

The Contemporary Man Film is part of a Four-Act multidisciplinary production combining painting, film, live performances and activation to explore identity, persona and our perception of reality.

THE SUPERVISOR faces the camera, smiling pleasantly as she speaks towards THE CONTEMPORARY MAN. After a few seconds, her smile drops. She notices something is wrong and becomes genuinely concerned and says,

“Are you alright? You seem off.”

Keep it subtle. Let your face and body do the work.
