(Atlanta, GA) Producer/Director Anthony R. Page helms an experimental, dramatic short film Mood starring Kasia Trepagnier. The project was developed as a creative challenge for the Hamilton, Louisiana-based talent where she was tasked to play 10 different characters.

In the film, Kayla has a conversation with herself about the truth of her identity. She explores the many distinct parts of her personality, trying to understand which is best suited to the life she wants to lead.

Through careful planning and coordination, the film was shot during a marathon 1-day shoot in Atlanta with a skeleton crew. Timothy Richardson served as director of photography with his production partner Laniqua Collins, serving as 1st Assistant Camera. The visual style of the 10 distinct characters was developed by the wardrobe supervisor Chanique Quinones along with Camilla Terrell on hair and make-up.

Between the frequent wardrobe changes, Page shot a short documentary film titled Making A Mood, to chronicle the experience.

The film will begin a series of screening this spring and will be making its way across the film festival circuit for the balance of the year.

"There has been an assault on Black identity since 1619, as many people across the eons have tried to define our humanity, This has led to a great deal of trauma on our psyche while impacting our spiritual, mental, and economic well-being. Although this film has quite a bit of humor, I hope it will lead to a small bit of mental catharsis and support and encourage unapologetic self-acceptance." ~ Anthony R. Page
