Director Biography - David Tayar

David Tayar:
Originally from Korazim, Israel, David Tayar is a Los Angeles based DP and producer. David worked as a DP on Emmy-nominated show East Los High on Hulu.

Adriana Vecc:
Adriana Vecc is a French-Italian actor, filmmaker and AR/VR hacker, living in Los Angeles.

Much to her traditionalist family’s despair, she quit her techie job at Twitter to follow her passion for filmmaking in Los Angeles. Blending software magic with artistry, Adriana designed and engineered immersive experiences for the likes of: Warner Bros., Viacom, The Hunger Games, NBA, Coachella and Snapchat.

Unlikeable female protagonists, dark humor and immersive storytelling are the staples of her cinematic language. Her short film ‘How Far’, which she wrote, co-starred and produced with an Emmy-nominated DP and the director of ‘Machete’, picked up many awards during its festival run.

Adriana then produced and starred in the viral comedy series ’Shoot Your Shot’, written and directed by Tanya Fear (‘Doctor Who’).

Adriana is the lead in ‘Portals’, an independent sci-fi feature film currently in post-production. She is developing her first feature film ‘Mermaids’, a psychedelic horror story on consent and female desire.

Director Statement

"When Catherine meets Theodora, she finds in her husband’s mistress a reflection of her younger self. This doesn’t stop Catherine from attempting to tear her rival down.
In a culture based on competition, manipulation is glorified. This story explores infidelity and its consequences, without picking side."
