MASKS

A Psychological Thriller About Memory, Identity, Power, and Justice

MASKS is an independent short film starring Zach Grenier and Thais Sobreira.

When an immigrant federal investigator confronts a respected retired judge connected to her past, a seemingly courteous encounter becomes a gripping psychological battle over memory, truth, and power.

The story behind the film

I'm Thais Sobreira, a Brazilian-French actress, writer, and producer based in New York. After years of working internationally in film and theater, including Her Song, produced by Academy Award winner James Ivory, I founded La Pomme Films, an independent production company dedicated to creating compelling, character-driven stories that resonate across cultures.

Through La Pomme Films, I'm bringing to the screen MASKS, a psychological thriller that I wrote, am producing, and will star in.

Through an intimate yet powerful narrative, MASKS explores universal and timely themes of identity, belonging, trauma, abuse of power, and justice. My hope is to create a film that captivates audiences while sparking meaningful conversations about the courage to confront the past and reclaim one's voice.

The team behind MASKS

I'm bringing together an accomplished international creative team, including:

Zach Grenier, Tony Award-nominated actor known for The Good Wife, The Good Fight, Fight Club, and Zodiac;

Wilhelm Kuhn, award-winning director of The Nephew and Julius, and cinematographer of Her Song, produced by James Ivory;

Ray Preziosi, Emmy-nominated cinematographer whose career includes work on Martin Scorsese's Casino and Robert Redford's A River Runs Through It;

Dhruv Goel, composer whose credits include La La Land and Star Wars.

The journey

Conceived as both a compelling standalone short film and the opening chapter of a feature film in development, MASKS is the beginning of a larger cinematic journey.

We're preparing to shoot in November 2026. Your contribution will help cover essential production costs, including our crew, location, equipment, production design, and post-production.
