This amazing multiple award-winning film has to be Oscar nominated, the direction is on point, the acting superb and the cinematography breathtaking.  That is why Film Business back Lost Face to be nominated for a 2018 Oscar.

Sean Meehan’s Lost Face has been making a mark around the world, having won nearly 50 awards and has just joined the Oscars shortlist in the Live Action Short category. This award-winning short is based on Jack London’s short story and stars Gerald Auger (Hell on Wheels), Martin Dubreuil (Felix Et Meira) and Morris Birdyellowhead (Apocalypto).

In mid-1800’s Russian America, Subienkow finds himself the second-to-last survivor of a group of Russian fur-thieves who have just been defeated by liberators from the local tribe they have enslaved as forced labour.  Now Subienkow faces a long, protracted and painful death unless he can come up with a plan for escape. 

Writer and Director Sean Meehan fell in love with Jack London’s short story Lost Face as a teenager and as an adult adapted it into a screenplay. He hopes this wonderful story may spark some conversations about current indigenous issues.
