Face Value
Synopsis
Face Value follows two men living in completely different worlds who collide in a single, impulsive moment that neither of them can take back. Alejandro Espinosa, a rising model with a carefully controlled public image, is used to navigating attention, influence, and the quiet power of being seen. Kevin Fujiwara, a call center employee, lives a far more ordinary life—steady, private, and largely unnoticed. When Alejandro spots Kevin in a crowded club and sends over a bottle “from a friend,” a spontaneous connection leads to a night that feels fleeting, intimate, and self-contained.
By morning, that illusion is shattered. A paparazzi photo captures Kevin leaving Alejandro’s apartment, instantly turning a private encounter into public spectacle. Kevin’s life is upended as coworkers, friends, and even his job begin reacting to a narrative he never chose, while Alejandro faces pressure from his agency to maintain control over his image. What was meant to be a simple moment of attraction becomes a shared crisis, exposing the stark divide between Alejandro’s curated world and Kevin’s unguarded reality.
As the fallout unfolds, both men are forced to confront what it means to be seen—not just by each other, but by everyone. In a world where perception is currency and privacy is fragile, Face Value explores identity, power, and the cost of connection when the line between public and personal disappears.
Stay
Currently in development
Stay is a grounded, character-driven drama that follows Devon Santangelo, a young man rebuilding his life one year after leaving rehab. Back in Philadelphia, Devon has done what he was supposed to do—he’s clean, he’s working, he’s surviving—but the world he returned to doesn’t feel the same, and neither does he. Stability comes with its own kind of pressure, where every day is a choice rather than a guarantee.
As Devon cautiously begins to open himself up to connection—through friendship, work, and the possibility of something more—he’s forced to confront the weight of his past and the uncertainty of his future. Stay explores recovery not as a finish line, but as an ongoing process, where progress is fragile, honesty has consequences, and the hardest part isn’t getting clean—it’s learning how to live afterward.
