Faces was my first venture into the world of Cassavetes, big shoutout to the wonderful user Adam for recommending it as a starting point!

I've got a lot of love for the man and am very excited to see what he cooks up next.

There's creepy actors, creepy visuals, creepy…

It is a journey of a short film; it follows the troubled, lost soul that is Zohara around Israel with a series of beautifully framed still shots. It's also…
