4 or 5 Things I Want You to Know About Me (An Essay)

Directed by Carl Bessai, this 2025 experimental film serves as a playful "Godardian riff" on the art of acting. Constructed as a collection of dramatic portraits and monologues, it features half a dozen female performers at different stages of their professional journeys. Using a DIY aesthetic, the "essay" blends studio recordings, green-screen sequences, musical numbers, and audition tapes to explore the craft and vulnerability of the actor in a spontaneous and highly specific style.
