Aspiring actress Alison Wuther is offered the role of a lifetime by the audition panel - on the condition she undergoes surgery to swap faces with Bonnie, who the panel deems more conventionally attractive.
Original field recordings processed with paulxstretch and other plugins to create an industrial, electronic soundscape that merges the built with the body, contrasting clean and saturated visuals. 
Playing with gross, squelchy body sounds and uncomfortable frequencies to throw listener off kilter and embrace the absurd, working with themes from the script.
Working with sound as the abject to create dissonance between visuals and audio, especially with creative foley and sfx work.

Creative produced score with composer. Mixed in 5.1 on Avid S6. Edited and designed in Pro Tools.
