About

A film star tries to connect with her co-star, a gentle young man with a severe facial deformity, on the set of an art-horror film.

Chained for Life is a 2019 American drama written and directed by Aaron Schimberg. Film star Mabel (Jess Weixler) takes a role in an English-language art-horror film by a European director, shot in a semi-abandoned hospital. Charlie Korsmo plays Herr Director. Cast opposite Mabel is Rosenthal (Adam Pearson), a gentle-natured young man with a severe facial deformity. On set, Mabel tries to connect with her co-star, and the film follows their relationship as it develops both in front of and behind the camera.
