Whatever This Is Pretending to Be
Four senior executives of the Foundation for American Values Faith PAC Foundation convene for an emergency Zoom meeting.
At the center of the call is Monica, the impeccably groomed CEO, who introduces a new corporate mandate called the Unified Transparency Initiative — a system requiring staff to declare their intentions out loud before speaking. What begins as an awkward linguistic exercise quickly becomes a revealing ritual, forcing each participant to articulate motivations they would normally keep hidden.
“Whatever This Is Pretending to Be” is a fast, darkly comic satire about performative faith, nonprofit power, and the moral contortions required to turn tragedy into momentum.
Two men. Two women. Virtual.
