Requiem’s Veil
Lev, a brilliant but hot-headed playwright, finds himself exiled from New York's Broadway scene after a series of costly failures and tumultuous relationships with cast and crew. Seeking redemption, he relocates to a small, struggling theatre in Toronto, where he must stage his most ambitious work yet. Surrounded by a ragtag team of aspiring actors, overworked technicians, and Alec, an unyielding young stage manager, Lev grapples with his own demons and the pressure to succeed. As tensions rise during rehearsals, personal conflicts threaten to unravel the production, forcing Lev to confront the ghosts of his past and find a way to lead his team to opening night. A raw and intimate exploration of artistry, ego, and second chances, Requiem's Veil shines a spotlight on the human spirit's ability to persevere under the weight of failure and ambition.

Mac Turner is the director making his narrative directorial debut with Requiem’s Veil. He attended Toronto Film School and has worn many hats within the film and commercial industry across Ontario. Mac began working professionally in the field of factual content and promotional videos at just 14 years old.
I knew Requiem’s Veil was the perfect script for me because, not only is it relatable as a writer and director, but the themes of perfectionism and the inner struggles with anxiety and self-doubt is something that everyone can relate to to a certain degree.
