Two Faced

Available for over a year

In February 2021, Rose-Anna woke up with a different body and a new face. Topical Steroid Withdrawal or ‘TSW’ is a phenomenon that has captured the attention of millions online but rarely appears in the mainstream media. What actually is TSW, why is it controversial and how does it affect people? Rose-Anna and her circle of fellow TSW ‘warriors’ describe what it’s like to live with multiple faces and why this online community can sometimes be a double edged sword. Commissioned in association with the Multitrack Audio Producers Fellowship for new talent in feature-making.
