Audition Documentary

I really, really want to see this documentary: Casting About.

I was a big fan of Bravo's The It Factor (and was one of probably 10 people who watched it). This seems like that — only more.

There's something at once depressing and comforting about watching the auditioning process.

It's scary to watch just how many talented people get nowhere. But it's also reassuring; it reminds us that talent does not equal success (and that success doesn't always indicate talent). And it shows me that a) there are people out there who are a lot worse than I am and b) there are people out there who are a lot better than I am.

Reaching for your dreams, pursuing something you love ... It's beautiful. And sometimes tragically so. But it's still kind of inspiring.
