Total Performance(2015)

Total Performance is a comedy-drama about Cori, an actress with an unconventional job. She works for a company that hires actors to roleplay opposite real clients preparing for difficult conversations—breakups, firings, embarrassing confessions. Cori becomes a professional sparring partner, helping ordinary people rehearse the words they're too afraid to say in real life. The film explores what happens when the boundary between performance and reality blurs, and when Cori's own life intersects with the scenarios she's paid to enact. It's a sharp, character-driven look at vulnerability, authenticity, and the strange intimacy of pretending for a living.
