Lie Exposed (2020) is an intimate indie drama that explores identity, freedom, and emotional truth in the face of mortality. The film follows Melanie, a woman whose life is abruptly reshaped after receiving a terminal diagnosis, pushing her to reassess everything she once considered stable and secure.

Leaving behind her marriage and familiar routine, Melanie travels to Los Angeles in search of meaning and release. Her journey is not driven by recklessness, but by a deep need to feel alive and honest with herself before time runs out. This emotional motivation gives the story a quiet but powerful sense of urgency.

The relationship between Melanie and the tintype photographer becomes the emotional core of the film. Their connection is rooted in vulnerability and artistic expression, offering a contrast to the emotional emptiness of her previous life. Photography serves as a metaphor for memory, exposure, and the desire to be truly seen.

Lie Exposed takes a slow, reflective approach, allowing viewers to sit with uncomfortable emotions rather than rushing toward resolution. The film avoids melodrama and instead focuses on subtle performances and introspective moments.
