  • Overview

    For several years, filmmaker Chris Shimojima had a recurring dream about a woman wearing a mask. The story was always the same, and he would always wake up before it ended. He became so obsessed with having an ending that he traveled to Costa Rica with two actors and filmed one. He has not had the dream since.
