My Gray Face is going to be a cosmic/lovecraftian horror short film about the fragile relationship between memory and identity. The film will be partly in color and black and white and is supposed to be a slow burn rather than a jumpscare-fest.
We’re a small team from London producing this film on a small budget.

Here’s the synopsis: Lloyd, a failed writer turned office slave, lives the British life peacefully with his wife and child. When Lloyd’s childhood friend comes to visit, the dark secrets of his family slowly bubble to the surface while his demented father upstairs he neglected for so long screams louder and louder. As the tension rises, the fabric of reality itself becomes unravelled and Lloyd finds himself in a parallel world, faced with faceless figures hauntingly familiar to him. Is it already too late?
The film is going to jump back and forth between two „worlds“:
The Home of the protagonist, where the his family secrets slowly unravel and reality itself begins to shift with slowly changing continuity.
The „Other Place“ in grainy black and white where he is faced with faceless figures whose faces look like scratched out from film.We will create this scratched out effect by actually scratching black film leader to then scan that in. The resulting footage will also be available to some of our backers to use for their own projects.
