dir. Kevin Kölsch, Dennis Widmyer · 2014
Sarah, a struggling actress, finds herself at a crossroads when a casting director offers her a chance at stardom that comes with a sinister price. As she navigates the treacherous waters of ambition and sacrifice, the film immerses viewers in a world where the line between reality and horror blurs. Watching it feels like a descent into a nightmarish reflection of the entertainment industry, where dreams can morph into grotesque realities.
Sweet Sarah, a struggling actress, is desperate to make it big in Hollywood's cut-throat film industry. Instead, she treads water waiting tables at a tacky fast-food restaurant. Eager for her big break, Sarah takes a chance on an ambitious horror movie, only to realise that dreams and reality are two entirely different things. As she catches the attention of a stone-faced casting director offering a second chance, Sarah must sacrifice everything in the name of art to seal the deal. But the question remains: How far is Sarah willing to go to catapult herself into the limelight?
