How Hard Could It Be?

I came across this short this weekend - a wonderful film on the difficulties of being an actor and those endless, excruciating auditions.  Called Resting (the euphemism used for 'out of work') it follows Jamie who wants to realise his dream to become an actor.  Fobbing off his mother, pretending he is more demand than he is, doing the "darling" thing and plodding from one disaster to another, he keeps his heart up.  And then, the end.......  Well worth watching, so put your feet up and when finished, say a prayer for all those trying to realise their hope of following their call to theatre.  I love the "Funnyfaces" audition - surreal and so real!
