Did you know? The film was shot entirely during the COVID-19 lockdown, and each actor recorded their own self-tape auditions in real time, with the final movie stitching together their unscripted, un-retakable performances.
Why Watch: Forget sprawling blockbusters—*Self+Tape* delivers a masterclass in tension and raw talent, proving that a single Zoom audition can be more gripping than any action scene. Anchored by three powerhouse performances, this razor-sharp indie film brilliantly captures the hilarious, heartbreaking desperation of actors vying for a career-defining role from their living rooms. It’s a must-watch for anyone who loves dark comedy, authentic drama, or a searingly honest look at the modern pursuit of a dream.
Three actors, each vying for the same life-changing lead in a massive British romantic comedy, face their most awkward audition yet—from the cramped, chaotic confines of their own homes.
