    Very clever solo project

    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!

    Sol Roth's The Audition Review

    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.

    Success - This began as a movie challenge on quarantine: to tell a story with just one actor.

    I'm Sol Roth, so this is probably the most biased review of all time, but I believe this movie came out well. This began as a quarantine challenge to myself and then evolved from there. I love acting and I love it when entire stories and characters come alive from raw and minimalist performances. I wanted to create a homage to this minimalist style, but with modern ideas from current monologues to explore. I love black and white, and was happy to use it here, to focus the attention on the performance and craft this story for you. I hope you enjoy it.

    A Review of Sol Roth's The Audition (2020)

    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.
