MAKE UP - MOLLY WINDSOR and CLAIRE OAKLEY INTERVIEW

The new thriller “Make Up” is British filmmaker Claire Oakley’s directorial debut with a break out and stunning performance from actress Molly Windsor.

MAKE UP is a psychosexual coming-of-age movie infused with suspense, mystery and elements of horror.

It follows Ruth, 19, who moves in with her boyfriend, Tom, on the remote caravan park where he works. It is a strange and almost deserted place on the edge of the sand dunes where the locals speak in dialect and Ruth feels like an outsider.

Soon after arriving there, she discovers some long red hairs on Tom’s clothes and suspects that he might be cheating on her. Intent on finding out who this redhead is, Ruth begins a search that leads her deeper into this mysterious place and that deepens further when she meets Jade, one of the residents who keeps a collection of wigs in her van, including a wig of long red hair.

As Ruth’s obsession grows it affects her relationship with Tom and as she struggles to make sense of everything, she begins to realise that something entirely different might be haunting her.

MAKE UP, will go directly to VOD/EST on January 19th.
