ROLE

2014

Short film

Cringeworthy comedy about the roles in our lives.

Lauri Tilkanen is a talented, promising young actor who finds himself among the final candidates vying for the lead role in a high-concept feature film. The casting process has already been long and arduous, for a role that seems nearly impossible to interpret. In this audition, we see just how far Lauri is willing to go for a chance at stardom.

A short film. Duration 11 minutes. Premiere 8/2014.
