Hide Your Smiling Faces
Directed by Daniel Patrick Carbone
Produced by Flies Collective
A haunting, intimate portrait of two brothers grappling with grief and uncontrolled emotion in an isolated natural setting, where beauty and vastness become sources of existential dread.
Tommy and his older brother Eric live in the midst of vast remote forests. The death of their friend pushes them close to the edge. Eric doesn’t know how to channel his energy. All at once, nature’s vastness feels stifling.
