PORTLAND, Ore. — Production is under way on 'The Face', a psychological short exploring what happens when perception fractures — when a person's own identity slips just out of reach.
Anton Krasavin, a Russian-born actor with a growing international profile, stars as Ray, a man forced to confront the possibility that his mind may be showing him something he's not ready to see. Written and directed by Hank Huffman and produced by M Films, 'The Face' blends atmospheric psychological horror with the precision of character-driven drama, locating its tension not in external scares but in the intimate space where fear becomes internal.
“I love challenges on set,” Krasavin says. “This film is shot under very specific conditions — I can't reveal details yet, but it's going to be intense, physical and unforgettable.”
Krasavin has built a cross-continental career spanning independent film and global streaming productions, including projects for Peacock, and in 2025 performed in 'The Knife I Dig Myself With' at Echo Lubimovka Los Angeles, a festival of contemporary Russian-language writing. He earned his BA at the University of Surrey and an MFA in acting for film at the New York Film Academy in Los Angeles, where he now resides. The film enters post-production in early 2026.
