My Face is a faith-leaning thriller about a filmmaker who shoots near the Ukraine front lines, then hides his identity under a masked backer's rules. Expect war tension, a chaplain's death, hired-killer pursuit, and grief for a widow and child left behind. Mature language and scary revenge beats fit a TV-MA feel. Best for mid-teens and adults watching with a parent who can talk about war, faith, and vengeance.

Story (may spoil tone)
A young, ambitious director travels to the frontlines of Ukraine to shoot a gritty war film. There, he clashes with a local military priest whose quiet faith stands in stark contrast to his own cynicism. When the chaplain dies saving his life, the director returns home transformed, determined to help the widow and child of the fallen. Desperate for funding, he strikes a deal with a masked, anonymous film blogger known only as The Mask. The condition is simple but unsettling: he must direct under a false name and never show his face. But behind the arrangement lies an old grudge and a long buried thirst for revenge from someone in his past. As the film's premiere nears, the director is drawn into a dangerous game where identity, vengeance, and redemption collide.
