White Lie
Drama
Katie Arneson is faking cancer. A university dance major, Katie's falsified diagnosis and counterfeit fundraising have transformed her into a campus celebrity surrounded by the supportive community she's always dreamed of. But now dependent on a bursary for sick students to maintain her ruse, Katie learns the funding is in jeopardy unless she can provide copies of her medical records within the week.
VIBE
This film feels like a slow-burn unraveling of a carefully constructed facade. It's an intimate, unsettling look at loneliness and the desperate need for connection, even if it's built on a foundation of lies. The anxiety builds as the truth looms.
