The Story
Mallory Lorne was forced to leave her young daughter, Olivia Lorne, to spend several years facing her Dissociative Identity Disorder in an asylum far away from their small hometown. The film picks up on the time that these two are reunited. After Olivia brings her mother home, she attempts to uncover the cause of her mother's disease while also repairing their relationship destroyed by years of pent up tension. Olivia attempts to get closer to her mother as Mallory stays deeply intertwined with the tragedy of her past and her different personalities that help her cope. After an unfateful snap Mallory is sent back to the asylum and back into her normal body and state. As these two women stand to lose their relationship once more, Mallory comes forward with the secrets she so desperately wanted to keep from her daughter. In the wake of the revelation of the past, Mallory and Olivia are forced to accept what has happened and move forward. However, the challenge still stands, there is a disease lurking in the depths of one of them and there may never be a chance for full recovery.

About This Team
The Many Faces team is comprised of hardworking, talented students from Chapman University. Our majors range from Film Production emphasizing in Directing to Creative Producing to Production Design. We have all worked on a breadth of different short films ranging from thrillers to dramatic comedies to period pieces. As a tight-nit group of student filmmakers we all jumped on the opportunity to collaborate on this creatively complex and thrilling short film.
Our director, Khira Layton, is a senior Film Production major (emphasizing in directing) at Chapman University. She has directed two short films prior to our upcoming short film, Many Faces. She plans to continue on working in production after she graduates this December. Her passion lies in creating projects that have a voice aspiring to create positive change and her way of displaying that message is creating a storyline in a unique manner. Her style is psychologically thrilling! Viewable by all audiences, and ultimately relatable for all ages.
Our Producer, Payne Cowley, is a current Creative Producing senior at Chapman University. She has worked in production on other short films, commercials, and music videos. She enjoys producing as it gives her a chance to bring together a group of creative individuals to collaborate on a moving piece of art. Payne's favorite films are Silver Linings Playbook, Almost Famous, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. She enjoys films that center around characters and bring out a positive light on the inner workings of one's mind. After graduation Payne hopes to work her way up the ranks to become a producer. On her off time she enjoys drinking over priced coffee and watching Broad City.
