In the film "The Masquerade" city leaders, developers and community activists gather around a table for a dinner party. They're discussing a plan to tear down the city's arts district and replace it with a “smart city.” One of the guests is a mysterious illusionist, played by former San Francisco 49er Vernon Davis. He is the magical catalyst for getting guests to be radically honest about their personal motivations for backing or resisting the high-tech development. Emmy-nominated filmmaker Joslyn Rose Lyons directed "The Masquerade."
