Life in Disguise

Since the time of the famous playwright Luigi Pirandello, society has forced people to wear masks in order to be accepted. Susanna relives events in her life where she has to adapt her choices to the ones of others, building a shape that allows her to be surrounded by other shapes. In the lowest moment of her life she decides to stop giving importance to the opinion of others and take off all the masks in order to make her life flow.
Susanna's journey can be summed up in the three metamorphoses of Nietzsche's spirit.

Director Biography - Lorenzo Scibilia

My name is Lorenzo, I'm an 18 year old filmmaker who is trying to create films that reflect his vision of the world.
I'm from Italy, I started making videos on youtube 3 years ago and now I've been dedicating myself to making short films and writing a feature film for the past year and a half. I want to become an established director and I will stop at nothing.

Thank you for the opportunity you are giving me by showing one of my short films!

Director Statement

This short film is representative of what I think about today's society. My goal is to visually scream at everyone to have the courage to emancipate themselves from the judgment of others and live, ceasing to suffer the social pressure that we all suffer. This short film is the result of months of writing, conception and shooting. I am proud of the result and I hope it will open people's eyes.
"Signore e signori, buona visione!"
