About This Movie

Audition (2014) is an intriguing short student film that dives deep into the complexities of ambition and vulnerability. The director remains unknown, which adds an air of mystery to the film. You can really feel the tension building through its pacing; it's deliberately slow, almost meditative, yet it grabs your attention in unexpected ways. The atmosphere is thick with an unsettling realism, and the performances carry a weight that lingers. Practical effects are minimal, but they’re used effectively to heighten the emotional stakes. Themes of desire, desperation, and the search for validation resonate throughout, making it a distinctive piece that stands apart from other student films.
