Synopsis

Documentarian Sarah Norton arrives in Baltimore, where, according to rumors, people have suddenly lost the ability to lie. When she discovers that the rumors are actually true, Sarah enthusiastically begins filming the city’s residents and their confessions, hoping to finally make a truly authentic film. But as she digs deeper, she uncovers a horrifying truth that turns everything upside down.

Réalisation

My name is Evgeny Akentyev. I am a film director and screenwriter from Russia. I graduated from the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography (VGIK) in 2026 with a degree in Fiction Film Directing. I have written and directed several short films and my debut feature film, "Yo", a comedy currently participating in film festivals. I am interested in genre cinema, unconventional storytelling, and stories that combine humor with dramatic elements.
