Filmmaker Statement

"Actor Seeks Role" tells the story of the difficulties of pursuing a career in the arts, and to what lengths one person is willing to go to follow his dreams. Through one method actor’s passion for performance, we see how deeply internalizing a role can actually work against a performer. As two competing mentors direct our protagonist in his craft, their incongruous advice creates a complicated tug-of-war. The film is a darker-toned character study that explores what happens when preparing for a role turns into an unhealthy obsession.
