AUDITION: A Film Feature Project Announces Finishing Funds Campaign on Kickstarter
Summary
Herron, devoted to the concept of Audition since its inception fourteen years ago, explains: “Audition is a film that pushes the cinematic boundaries of characterization, representation and narrative, appealing to a broad audience ranging from art-house enthusiasts to the average moviegoer.And by combining a raw, visceral depiction of this romance juxtaposed with the very real process of the actors struggle to embody the characters, Audition creates a world of cinematic complexity that is both thought provoking and engrossing.By the end of the film, one male and one female actor are cast as the “leads,” and star in the final, thrilling scene.Writer/Director Matt Herron’s original script creates a story in which the characters’ unwavering search for love parallels the actors’ undying struggle for success.Herron, devoted to the concept of Audition since its inception fourteen years ago, explains:“Audition is a film that pushes the cinematic boundaries of characterization, representation and narrative, appealing to a broad audience ranging from art-house enthusiasts to the average moviegoer.Mirroring this progression, the pool of auditioning actors is increasingly distilled after each major act, continually highlighting the best performers until only two actors remain to play out the final climactic scene.”Herron is optimistic that this final phase of the Kickstarter campaign will provide Audition with the finishing funds and momentum it needs to complete editing, color correction, sound mixing, and the variety of other costs accrued during the post-production process.Audition’s Kickstarter campaign can be found at http://kck.st/WX9YCX - and more information can be found at www.auditionthefilm.com.Matt Herron is a successful independent filmmaker and has been a member of the New York arts community since 1984.
