The Masquerade
Natsuki Arai | Film
Overview
22-year-old Nolan Leyson has it good. He has the friends, he has the money, and just earlier in the day he'd gotten a job promotion. Life can only go up from there! And to celebrate this, his friends have gotten him the surprise of his life: a lovely lady by the name of Allison Rayne. But, there's a twist - Allison Rayne is an escort! Another twist - Nolan's a virgin, but his friends don't know!
Experience the story through Nolan's eyes as he comes to the ultimate decision. Does he lose his virginity to someone he's never met, or does he go through with it to uphold his carefully crafted masquerade?
"I decided to make this film because it has always interested me how we as human beings never show our true selves to others. We feign interest in things that don't interest us. We smile and nod when we feel like doing anything but. We do all these things in the name of sustaining the relationships we've made around us. We fear losing these relationships. We fear the world seeing who we truly are, because they may hate what they truly see." - Laurence Yee, Director.
The filming dates are from the 9th to the 11th of September. We're hoping to hit our goal by the 1st of September. As this is our final project at university, we would like to go out with a bang.
We'd appreciate your help. Every donation counts, no matter how small it is.
Thanks!
Nat and Larry
