Face 2 Face

Katherine Brooks is a great director. Loving Annabelle is my favorite movie ever. When I heard about the concept for this movie it sounded very interesting. I was given the opportunity to see this film one evening and I didn't take my eyes off the screen until the credits rolled. I find it amazing that a director would just hop in a car and spend a day with 50 of her online friends to connect with them. I couldn't imagine someone so successful could feel so alone in her real life. I know she found out she is not alone. Please watch this movie, it is very touching and real. You do need Kleenex though. It is very brave to reveal yourself to people, but also to see what others are going through and have compassion for them and their sufferings. She was so very sweet and kind to a young lady in the film who was undergoing therapy. That tells a lot about someone. Real life connecting is so much more fulfilling, but it requires putting yourself out there. Watch her interesting journey. It's a great film in every way!

This is one of the most brilliant, honest, REAL, heart-wrenching, gentle, soulful, graceful, funny, and powerful things I've seen in easily a decade. The director Kat Brooks is wondrous in this exploration of herself, the lives around her, and the relationship between them.

It's also touching to see how earnestly she really wants her work to mean something positive for the larger world, touch people's hearts, and make them think more consciously about their relative impact on each other. That's really the whole game in Hollywood (and the Arts more broadly) - the real challenge that every business force in the industry actually tries to prevent you from succeeding at because of the mindless fears the profit motive exacerbates, but which conversely is the most important to achieve. She wasn't finding that connection in oxymoronic "scripted reality television", and as a genuine documentarian, the dishonesty of that was truly driving her nuts.

She risks quite a bit revealing her jumble of feelings from hurt, to scared, to loving, to angry, to caring, to flat-out confused, to self-deprecatingly funny. Kat has some truly horrible emotional wounds, but ultimately has not been conquered by them - though she came frighteningly close to the edge, largely due to the carelessness of others. However, her personal challenges have made her well-placed to not just sympathize, but empathize with others, and that informs this work. As one of the friends she finds along the 11,000 mile journey simply says, "Good job."

In a world that is increasingly isolating while claiming to be hyper-connected thanks to our technological advances, I guarantee that this movie will resonate with you.

Kat GETS IT. Get the movie "Face 2 Face", then get connected for REAL. You are not alone.

This film has the heart and soul of Kat Brooks right out there for all to see . In the process of her 11000+ mile trip across America to come Face2Face with some of her online friends the stories she shares touch our hearts and souls. She unfolds her difficult heart wrenching past. I cried and found parts of myself there as well. This is a film that will change everyone who sees it for the better as it reminds us we're all more alike than different. We are never alone. She discusses her near successful attempt at ending her own life. This was a very brave disclosure which she made despite advise to the contrary by her manager and lawyer. She once again proves to her fanbase that she will always be herself, honest and true. Some of the friends she meets are going through times of stress and turmoil, Kats ability to empathsize is a gift they all embrace.

I was able to see this film last night and it was amazingly touching. Kat's bravery at showing who she is and how hard the journey can be was inspirational to me. There are a lot of similarities between the feelings that she was dealing with and what I have had to deal with in my life too, and I find that so reassuring, as I'm sure it will be to anyone that has been to the depths and clawed their way back up to the light. I think that the subjects and feelings touched upon in this movie are universal and I highly recommend that everyone watch this so that we can all connect in a real way, not just a virtual way. Thank you, Kat!

Face 2 Face is something raw and real. Director Katherine Brooks throws the Hollywood rule book out of the window and makes a true meaningful movie. You will see things that will make you smile, you will see things that make you laugh, you will even see things that make you question if you are truly living your life. There is no sugar coating anything in this film. There is no script, no cue cards. Just people and a camera. The movie discusses problems society is to afraid to bring up. I recommend everyone check out this movie. You will laugh, and you will cry. Katherine Brooks does not hold back and because of that something wonderful was put out there. I've never seen anything like Face 2 Face before. I can't praise it enough. Go see it!!!
