The 7-minute comedy opens with an unkept Gus, who is in his late-20’s, dashing to an audition to secure the role as a 13-year-old bully. Whilst waiting to be called, Gus sparks condescending small talk with the fellow try-outs – which is guaranteed to secure a few laughs. Without spoiling the narrative climax, the plot takes a disturbing spin that exposes the alleged impropriety of some film/TV auditions.
Jack Foley (Writer/Director/Star) warrants praise and acclaim for his hilarious portrayal as Gus – a noteworthy performance that will simultaneously repulse and bring a degree of empathy to the viewer. Technically, the short is flawlessly crafted with stellar cinematography by Philipp Girke – expect a high-quality finish. Sound and post-production is equally commendable. Tim True’s portrayal as the dubious casting director is additionally laudable, albeit disconcerting. An unmissable watch that shouldn’t be overlooked. Highly recommended.
