Sol Roth's the Audition

Sol Roth tasks himself with a string of 'audition pieces' which definitely shows a range, plus a through line that will change for each individual viewer. Although the Audio takes some getting used to, he has obviously thrown himself into the Project and there are some wonderful surprises throughout. Give yourself a break from life and check out someone else's!

In the monologue film the main actor switches between different roles and characters.

He is a survivor at one point. In the next shot, he is playing different role. The expression of a variety defines the originality of the film.

From a technical aspect Black and white film may seem like an outdated technique, however it has many advantages. It changes a movie thematically.

I really like how you did this and the energy that you put on it! Hardwork + good energy always brings good results!

First of all, I decided to give this a try without the faintest idea of what this movie was about and I got to say, it was pleasantly entertaining. The movie was more about the art of expression and this movie actually blends the performance of different kinds of roles from different genres pretty well. If you're looking for actual acting, this movie might just be perfect for you. At first glance, it might seem pretty boring since this is just a compilation of a guy auditioning for different kinds of roles but as it goes on, you'll come to realize that this is so much more. The transition from one role to another feels so seamless that you'll feel like the flow of the movie is dancing to a rhythm.

Usually when you are watching someone act, you'll slowly start to get immersed in their acting if their acting is good but if suddenly they change their roles and take on the role of a completely different type of character, you might feel like the flow the acting has broken which might leave you with a bit of a bitter taste. This movie does that exact thing but it flows so well that you get more immersed as more different kinds of roles are played. That goes to show how much the director put effort in his work. This is one of the strongest points of this movie. As with every movie, this also has some weak points but they are overshadowed by the sheer amount of passion oozing out from this movie.

All in all, this movie was well worth my time and was very entertaining as well.

The film is a monologue involving Sol Roth, who is the actor in this movie, put through in an acting audition while performing back-to-back characters and bringing out stories across the full length of human emotions. He uses the black and white version in the film to bring back the old and original monologue film that used the body movement and voice to express oneself through acting. Sol performs different roles and characters in the monologue film; he is a villain at one point. In the next shot, he is a victim, and then a professional guy in the following, expressing all sorts of characters in a peculiar manner likely to suggest originality. Each monologue unlocks a unique kind of story in the film, assuming different character persons depending on the story being narrated. Sol articulates his acting monologue with modern acting twists to bring about realism in favor of extensive experimentation with medium subjectivity, fragmentation, and nonlinearity. Furthermore, Sol Roth brings stories to life using body and voice as his available tools, a skill used before the film age used to narrate a film. He uses this epic style to pay homage to the acting art form as it is supposed to be.

The film dimension is a large format film with the size of 4x5 with a frame size in inches-more fine details due to a smaller grain level.

The film specifications include a 35mm Type U Core with a 51mm outside diameter and a 25.4mm diameter center hole with a keyway and a film slot. They are used with camera negative and reversal films. It uses Ben & Howell perforation sizes because it uses negative perforations used on most 35mm camera negative films. Since it's a minimalist style of acting, it will make this movie a low budget film. The creative talent, direct production costs, post-production, e.g., editing, and other insurance bonds could accumulate to cost much less in this film's production. Sol will use a budget of barely $2 million in production.
