A zany ensemble piece that showcases the absurdities of life. Ambiguity is the name of the game as these down on their luck characters try to make the best out of their surroundings.

Director Statement

"The Lines in Their Faces" is 50% scripted and 50% improv. I was honored with a superb Team of gifted actors who were skilled & worked quickly under pressure to interpret each vignette within minutes. We shot in the iconic French Market Place Restaurant in West Hollywood, California during working hours, which, of course, made it all the more challenging. Listen for the crashing dishes and customer conversation; that's real!
