Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Casting director workshops exist in a legal gray area — technically 'educational,' often pay-to-play auditions. This film emerged from LA's 2010s actor-activism against them.

Trivia

Director Landon Ashworth cast himself as the desperate actor James Truman after multiple real workshops told him he 'wasn't memorable enough.'
