Face Down is a short film written, directed by, and starring John-Henry Hirozawa — a semi-autobiographical sibling drama exploring grief, family trauma, and the possibility of healing. The film follows two adult siblings who reunite in a New York City apartment as their estranged father nears death, forcing long-buried resentments and asymmetrical memories of a complicated childhood to the surface.
