The feature film COMPLAISANT is a comparison of LEAH (seemingly happy housewife) and JENNIFER (female escort). This dramatic and beautifully painted story of their struggles, ironic similarities, and search for above all, love and happiness, takes place in New York City. Will either one of these women have the strength to evacuate their situations before losing all hope for a new way of life in which they are no longer forced to face abuse, the need to be obsequious to men or to be bound by the expectations of society?
A Writer, Director, Actress and Producer ( HighSi Films ), Tiffany Jaide Hightower grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana. It did not seem like the place for a young creative person to gain experience enough to make them ready for the big city but surprisingly it did for this young lady.
Tiffany has been acting for over fifteen years and wrote and directed her first production at age fifteen. While in Indiana she not only performed in community theatres but also at Indiana Repertory theatre at a young age. After training and performing with Asante Children’s Theatre, Pike Performing Prevention Troupe, Indiana Repertory Theatre, Footlite Theatre Company, and doing many upon many plays and musicals and even films she decided off to New York she would go. Ms Hightower studied at American Musical and Dramatic Academy where she further trained in Acting, Theatre History, Shakespeare, Television and film and even Stage Combat.
COMPLAISANT is a wonderful piece not just because the talent involved is so diverse and amazing but also because the director is doing everything possible to make the feature film so raw and honest that it reads like a documentary. So you the viewer feel like you are being privately taken into the lives of every single character. Crazy how my mind works but once you see the finished product you will hopefully understand the choice. Thank you to all the performers that see the “method to my madness”. Needless to say we still need your support to make this one of a kind film a reality. So blessed that Forest Whitaker and the Juntoboxfilms team have a belief in the piece enough to sponsor it on Indiegogo so please understand it is a very worthy project with a beautifully diverse cast. Please take a moment to share our campaign with friends and family to help us reach our goal. Thank you! www.indiegogo.com
