Tarek Bishara

Based on true events, TAPE, follows Rosa (Annarosa Mudd), an actress who secretly places hidden cameras on her body as well as in a dark studio and begins to stalk another actress, Pearl (Isabelle Furhman), who she identifies as the next “protege” of a successful producer, Lux (Tarek Bishara). But as Pearl and Lux enter the targeted studio, and Rosa collects and edits footage, she, and we, must all sit through an endless day of Lux’s screen test process, and the grey areas of pressure that women experience when being coerced by a powerful man. As Rosa peers into her own past experiences playing out before her eyes, she is forced to question whether her goal of revenge in revealing what goes on behind these closed doors is worth what it takes to do so.
