Synopsis:

In this satire of the Hollywood casting process, two producers are tasked with auditioning a series of actors and writers for a new feature film. Along with them is a camera, which broadcasts the auditions live to a focus group, whose feedback is viewed by the producers in real time during the intimidating process that leaves the bright eyes of their actors irrevocably darkened.

‘Break a Leg’ tackles the emphasis on physical beauty in casting, the ways in which a script can die the death of a thousand edits, the hyper-saturation of zombie films, and many other tropes of the film industry found both in front of and behind the lens.
