Even though it's a short film (7 minutes, 22 seconds), they didn't skimp on quality (The credits run 2 minutes, 19 seconds. 10 minutes total running time). The acting is fantastic. I was particularly impressed by the acting of the boss and two panelists. They committed completely to their characters even though they must have found such characters very distasteful on a personal level (Catherine Tate intentionally or unintentionally dropped a hint about her feelings when she flipped the bird while stuffing a cookie into her mouth). The video editing was very tight. It was spot on. The sound track was very appropriate. The song during the credits was appropriate. The sound track mixing and editing were well done. This seems to have been a labor of love for many of the participants. One does feel that one has been bludgeoned by the heavy handed treatment given the various biases that impact the screening process and limit the dynamic range permitted a female actor. The only bias treated with subtlety is beautyism. Beautyism is handled so subtly it's not clear it was intended to be treated at all. I love this film.

This short film was very entertaining to watch. There are many truths in it about the industry, and it is quite sad. I loved how the brilliant cast were able to shed light on the issue, maintaining the point while doing it in a funny way. It is a great testament to how so many women and even men are fighting every day to make it, and to make a change in the film industry where sexism is involved, as it is so prevalent. I loved seeing the men (Tom & Anthony) step into their roles to prove they are also fighting for such a great cause. All together, the short was funny and outlines the horrible treatment of women in the film industry. Also, Catherine Tate is hilarious.

People in movies are expected to fit in an impossible box of perfection. These expectations hemorrhage into real life. This short film nails the reality of how people are treated. It isn't meant to be funny in a traditional sense, any humor is in the reality of the ridiculousness. It's intended to be eye opening and to show in a simplistic manner what happens behind scenes. It hits home for any job interview whether it be for a role in a film or a business professional.

This is one of the funniest, sharply pointed shot films I've seen. It's absurb in its honesy! And its got a very amusing plot twist at yhe end, which really caps off this fine behind the scenes look at casting of films!

So hard to watch and so relatable for many women and/or minorities regardless of the area in which you work...
