A one-minute experimental confession.

Barbara sits alone in front of the camera, delivering an audition that is not for any role—except perhaps the one her heart secretly desires.

In a hushed, looping monologue, she speaks directly to the lens about a young woman who lives in New York City: polite, beautiful, unreachable. She wonders aloud if this woman has any idea how often she is thought of, how deeply she has slipped into someone else’s dreams across an ocean.

Raw, lo-fi, unscripted yet perfectly framed, The Audition is a quiet act of courage: saying the thing that might never be heard, yet setting it free anyway.
