BROOKLYN QUARTER and KAMPFIRE FILMS Proudly Present the World Premiere of LIZA ANONYMOUS
How far would you go to belong? In LIZA ANONYMOUS, Liza takes it too far.
BROOKLYN QUARTER and KAMPFIRE FILM are pleased to announce the world premiere of Leah McKendrick’s (Summer Lovin’) LIZA ANONYMOUS, directed by Aubrey Smyth. LIZA ANONYMOUS will screen as part of the Tribeca Film Festival in June, both on screen in New York City and virtually around the world. Tickets and more information are available HERE.
In Latinx writer Leah McKendrick’s film, Liza’s desperate search to fit in gets her wrapped up in a tangle of lies and ill-informed emulation. As her charade crumbles, she learns that imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery, but finds solace in the most unlikely of places.
The theme of isolation and loneliness in the film is particularly resonate right now during the Covid-19 crisis, a time of unprecedented forced separation.
