Take 3

2008 · 12 min

A wry, quick-witted short that juggles three stories at once, letting awkward audition humour and quiet frustration build into a sharp little sting.

Overview: Ingeniously unfolding three tales in unison, Take 3 follows a trio of young asian-Kiwi actors on one horrifying day of auditions.
How it feels: Satirical, cynical, tense and earnest. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Identity, race, work, ambition
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
