Alone In Paradise Track

Now you can listen to Masquerade’s surprise single Alone In Paradise, inspired by the surreal DIY feature film Lost Angeles!

My heartfelt thanks to everyone at Carbon City Cinema who made this wonderful work of art that lifted my spirits, especially to Jesse and Cat for their kindness, graciousness, and enthusiasm for my song💖

Through hazy synths and dreamy guitars, Alone In Paradise celebrates Maria's and Elise's journey as soulmates drawn together by their art, and the artistry and destiny that is integral to the film:

“Two young women meet on an unusual phone call. Their lives take an unexpected twist when they enter a shared dream where they are visited by the ghosts of Hollywood past and present.”

Lost Angeles is written and directed by Jesse Dvorak. He is the acclaimed writer, musician (BLOOD NEBRASKA), and filmmaker behind the creative collective ARTandVOID, which envisions art and writing as “a healing ritual” and provides “a refuge for the spiritual artists, midnight poets, and romantic rebels.”

Lost Angeles “is a cinematic poem set inside a liminal, nigh apocalyptic vision of Los Angeles rarely shown, but often felt. The spaces artists often find themselves wandering alone.

Made on a micro, shoe-string budget with a skeleton crew and an uncompromising vision, Lost Angeles moves slowly and intentionally.

Characters appear and disappear like thoughts. Meaning drifts rather than announces itself.

The decision was made to release the film freely on YouTube. No monetization. No gatekeeping. No transaction.

This film is offered as a gift, especially to other artists, those walking their own uncertain paths, those who feel unseen, those who continue anyway.”

Let Alone In Paradise be your sign to believe you aren't alone and lost wandering an unknown path, because your soulmate is out there and you are destined to meet.
