CASTING DOCUMENTARY FILM ANOTHER BODY
ANOTHER BODY follows a college student’s search for justice after she discovers deepfake pornography of herself circulating online. Through candid video diaries, synthetic media, and animation, the film takes you into Taylor’s online and offline worlds, grounding a vast social issue in a compelling personal story. Supported by Sundance Institute and International Documentary Association.
We are casting individuals to be part of a feature documentary by award-winning team, to be featured as deepfake face doubles. This is not an acting role. We are looking for talent who are interested in collaborating on this project and in helping protect the identity of the film’s subjects by being what’s called a ‘face veil.’ A similar process was used in David France’s Oscar-nominated Welcome to Chechnya. Talent will be filmed for a few hours capturing different light, expressions, angles, and talent’s faces will be mapped onto the original footage by a deepfake artist. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about supporting a campaign to change the laws and culture around sharing private images and deepfakes without consent.
Deepfakes are synthetic media in which a person in an existing image or video is replaced with someone else’s likeness. For the purpose of this film, deepfakes are being used to protect the anonymity of the original documentary subjects. The idea is to reclaim a technology that is weaponized against women to protect them. This is a compilation of what deepfake videos look like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTTG2AcOLrM
A 3D animated avatar version of the Taylor, resembling the face veil, will also appear in the film. In 3D, we will animate scenes from the film from their past experiences at college. These include college parties and hanging out in the suite, as well as more challenging memories of the misogyny Taylor experiences in a very male-dominated STEM culture, including one instance of attempted sexual assault.
The use of deepfake face veils will be made clear to the audience; they will understand that the faces they see are not the faces of the film’s subjects. The film will not place the face veil onto any video image that shows explicit content. We will place the face veil onto cropped close-ups of Taylor’s face from the original adult footage, ensuring that only the face is visible and all pornographic or explicit elements are removed from the frame. This material will be used with utmost sensitivity and care.
