Imagine if the mask were to fall from your face. Even if just for a single moment.

Might you cause someone to smile? Might you cause someone to feel warmth?

A short film shot on Brighton Beach, England back in 2005 with Franco Bassetti, a Clown (Mime) who drove down from Cardiff, Wales dressed as he is in the film. Much to the surprise of the Police Officer who pulled him over him a few miles East of Brighton. Well Hove Actually.

And some words concerning a fantastical kingdom.

This is the mission you’d be supporting - “two decades ago I set out to capture the Soul of the Human Race on film, so that we might see ourselves reflected in each other.

I would so appreciate your support in this exploration of the deep human interior.
