Storyline

Hilarious inside view of the agony actors go through in the casting process by very talented veteran director Armand Mastroianni. Great looking short movie; looks like a big budget project. Mind blowing twist at the end. Nice ensemble cast consisting of Chris Muto, Paul Elia, Adrian Gaeta, and Ben Gavin work well together as competitive actors who try to bond as they wait for a fateful phone call... only one of them will get the role they have been called back for five times each

A terrific little film

I thoroughly enjoyed the film. It was very funny and had a twist ending that knocks your socks off. Armand did a great job directing and the cast was wonderful. Congratulations to everyone involved in the film. I hope you go far in the festivals.

As an actor, I felt like things were going to end up like the film did and I have a few times that I wish it had ended like that. Definitively worth seeing if you have the opportunity.

Great Job! and I hope good things come from it.
