I've got a fantastic short film for you to check out today called Lightningface, which stars Oscar Issac (Star Wars: The Force Awakens). The film was written and directed by Brian Petsos, about a man named Basil Stitt who pretty much loses his mind and turns his life completely upside down after being struck in the face by a bolt of lightning.
An origin story, of sorts—Lightningface stars Oscar Isaac as Basil Stitt, who in the aftermath of an inexplicable incident, decides to sequester himself inside his apartment, setting the stage for a profound transformation.
It's a great short film that's worth checking out. Let sus know what you think after ou watch it!

The short film stars Oscar Isaac as a man named Basil Stitt who goes through a transformative experience after being struck by lightning one day. We originally posted a trailer for this short more than a year ago, and now that it has played at fests exclusively, it's available online. This is a very strange, intriguing short that goes to some trippy places at the end. It's great to see Oscar Isaac in this, but I'm not sure what to make of it. You?

Oscar Isaac is having quite the meltdown in The Hollywood Reporter's exclusive clip of Lightningface.

"Just one week ago, everything was so different." This looks a bit crazy. I'm not usually fond of posting trailers for short films, but I couldn't help it with this one - it has Poe Dameron in it!

The description says that "in the aftermath of an inexplicable incident", he locks himself in his apartment goes through one helluva transformation.
