Masked Truth

Masked Truth is a film I did for my thesis in Ringling College of Arts and Design. It is mostly inspired by my root as a Javanese in Indonesia,  as well as the values in the Javanese community.

In a Javanese palace, a cheerful Princess who is true to herself, is compelled by her mother to perform the traditional Mask Dance, a symbolic rite of passage into cultural heritage. However, donning the mask reveals a profound confrontation with her faceless reflection, hinting at the risk of losing her true self
