Storyline
This Is My Face is an experimental short for Super 8mm about the things we conceal from the world, and ourselves.
A young woman struggles to conceal her acne during her morning routine. She wakes up, sits at her vanity, smears creams and lotions on her face, and tries to hide her acne under layers of foundation. After each unsuccessful attempt, the woman becomes more and more agitated, until she finally decides to give up, accepting the blemishes on her face. She waters flowers in a beautiful garden, finally comfortable in her natural state.

Description A young woman struggling with moderate to severe adult acne. She wakes up, sits at her vanity mirror and tries to conceal her blemishes. Thanks to her acne, she has become increasingly reclusive. She is almost obsessive about her skin creams and medications. However, she is quite self-aware, narrating her experiences with self-deprecating humour. Eventually, after trying and failing several times to put on a decent face, she learns to accept herself in her natural state. | ||
