Synopsis:

follows three redheaded actors; Jess, Grace and Isabelle, as they navigate the confusing, challenging and hilarious world of auditioning for a major British romcom feature film, all via a self tape from the discomfort of their own homes. 

Jess Holloway is an enthusiastic, happy-go-lucky twenty-something London girl looking for her big break. Despite the setbacks, very little will dampen her spirits. Usually. As the day goes on and she is let down by a housemate, noisy neighbours and dodgy filming equipment, Jess must try and overcome these obstacles to deliver the performance needed to land the role. Will she be able to though?

Grace Thompson is a sarcastic, thirty-something northern lass from Wakefield. She keeps her cards close to her chest and pretends to not really care about the role, despite it being the biggest opportunity she’s ever had to date. Will her ice-cold persona melt as the audition progresses?

Isabelle Montague is a stylish, middle-aged, household name who shouldn’t really be doing self tapes; but times change and she must go along with them. She does not care for any role she’s not been offered outright, nor the process, but by the end, will she have returned to her first true love - acting? 

With only one camera angle per actor, we are offered unrestricted access to the authentic, self+tape process; bringing with it the tears and laughter that come with this increasingly popular form of casting. At the end of the day, there may be three of them, but there’s only one role available.
