Exclusive Trailer Debut: Put On a HAPPY FACE January 1st
Director Alexandre Franchi’s award-winning thriller Happy Face hits theaters and digital this January. Direct from a lauded festival run, the powerful film combines a thrilling story while exploring the importance of facial equality and representation.
Today, Dread Central is thrilled to exclusively debut the trailer for Happy Face! Give it a spin and read more about the movie below.
Synopsis:
Estranged from his manipulative cancer-stricken mother, Stan, a quixotic 19-year-old, dons a disguise and joins a therapy workshop for disfigured patients in a misguided attempt to reconnect with her. But when his deception is revealed, Stan, who is desperate to gain coping skills to care for his disease-ravaged mother, offers the afflicted patients a bargain: he stays with the group, and in exchange, he teaches them how to feel good about themselves by using their “ugliness” as a weapon against our beauty-obsessed culture.
Robin L’Homeau, Alison Midstokke, E.R. Ruiz, Debbie Lynch-White, and Dean Perseo star in Happy Face, releasing in virtual theaters January 1st and on digital January 5th from Dark Star Pictures. The film features music from the Violent Femmes and more.
