CONEJO 
2020 Feature Film 85’
Venezuela, United States, Cuba
​Written and Directed by Carla Forte

The film shows the creative process between a director and an actress while they rehearse a play called "Rabbit". Two stories are narrated in the midst of demanding rehearsals in total isolation: The creation of a character, and the daily lives of those involved. Psychological abuse and mistreatment by the director, end up bringing the actress to the point where her deepest desires merge into the character she represents: the rabbit.
