"The stage is always watching"

When the Room Listens

Ngozi is a young actress trying to prove she belongs. She's chasing a role she believes will finally change everything. When she gets it, under the direction of the elusive Mr. Potter, what should feel like a breakthrough starts to feel off, almost as if something in the space is watching. As rehearsals go on, time stops making sense, memories blur, and a girl named Zoe begins to appear in ways that don’t quite add up. The more Ngozi pushes herself to be perfect, the more she loses control. Until it becomes clear the stage isn’t just asking her to perform, it’s asking her to give something up.
