Fan Casting Kitsune Complex

Aya is a 28-year-old actress stuck in a cycle of dead-end auditions, social media comparisons, and self-doubt. But things take an unexpected turn when she becomes obsessed with a rising pop star, Michiru, whose perfect, seemingly flawless image is everywhere. Aya's fascination turns into an unhealthy obsession, but as she stalks Michiru’s life online, Aya begins to notice strange coincidences—glimpses of a mysterious woman who seems too perfect to be real, and whose performances have a bizarre, ethereal quality. Unbeknownst to Aya, Michiru is a kitsune, a mythical fox spirit who has been manipulating her way through the pop world, shifting her identity to stay relevant and seductive in a world obsessed with image. Aya's search for validation leads her down a rabbit hole of mythology, mental unraveling, and dangerous obsessions. As the line between reality and illusion starts to collapse, Aya must decide if she's chasing a dream—or if the dream is chasing her.
