When Raheem discovers a roll of film sitting undeveloped inside the grandfather’s old Rolleicord camera, invisible truths begin bubbling to the surface. Deadline: May 27.

Record in a well-lit area (with a simple background if possible) where we can clearly hear you. For the slate, start with a full-body shot and zoom in or cut to a close-up (the bottom of the frame should be at the shoulders and leave a sliver of space above the head for the top frame). The audition can be in a medium-wide shot, not too close but not too far. State your name, your preferred gender pronouns, and the name of the piece your monologue comes from. Prepare a 90-second contemporary monologue. New iphone users: If you are taping on the new iPhone/latest IOS update please make sure your settings are compatible prior to taping or else you may have issues uploading and syncing.
