About this Event
Join us for a night of bold, unfiltered cinema.
Facade of Desire is a fearless, razor-sharp satire that rips through privilege, excess, and the delusions of power. Directed by Cortez Campos—this film doesn’t just poke fun at the elite, it drags their contradictions into the spotlight and forces you to watch. Imagine Wolf of Wall Street if it had the comedic ruthlessness of South Park and the social dissection of American Psycho.
Hollywood has spent decades polishing its stories into safe, palatable perfection—tied up in a neat, little bow. But that’s not what you’ll get here.
Alongside Facade of Desire, the evening will feature a selection of yet-to-be-announced student films—raw, unapologetic, and ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about independent cinema. Afterward, stick around for an unfiltered Q&A with the filmmakers, where we’ll break down the creative process, the themes, and the chaos behind the scenes.
Admission: Free, but RSVP is required.
Attire: Black Tie

“ Why aren’t more movies like this? And I think that is really the purpose of this film too, because that’s a big reason why this film got controversial in the first place—because it just doesn’t give a f#@*"
