Make Believe is a nostalgic, haunting look back at the world of 1930’s Hollywood, where larger-than-life movie stars went to great lengths to keep their secrets from coming to light.
Starring Éilis Cahill and Quentin Chisholm as Eleanor and Bailey, two lost souls who are thrown together to create a fantastical scenario that could only be dreamed up in Hollywood, the land of dreams.
