Three friends, one role, and the worst helpers imaginable. Chaos ensues.
Three young actors. Two families. One role. Aspiring actors and family friends; Ruby, Sterling, and Katie, all receive a next-day audition request for the same role. They each must film a "self tape", aka a do-it-yourself-at-home audition. With only 12 hours to submit, they have no choice but to accept less than ideal help.
Acting
Real-life siblings playing fictional ones—chaos hits different.
Direction
Co-directors co-starring as themselves. Meta without being insufferable.
Writing
Specific, lived-in cringe that only comes from experience.
Director
Ruby Jerins
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
