Director Statement

The Audition is a story that wholly reflects my own journey: A young Turkish artist trying to "make it" in America. It's a story about passion for performance and art. Hopefully, this story about two children of immigrants will relate to those with similar backgrounds, or anyone who asks themselves the question, "Am I good enough?"
