The Audition Kiss

"David Hoffer is a handsome, young and unsuccessful actor who has been trying to gain a foothold in the industry for years. With an audition opportunity he could only have dreamed of, his attempt to make it big goes to the next round. However, the well-known caster Tina Winter has everything in her hands and for an unbelievable reason doesn't exactly determine well for his future. Thomas, David's best friend, is always there to encourage him. So, the story gets a diverse twist and an encounter ensues that will change the relationship of the two forever and so Davids acting career is not the only thing that will cause him trouble in the future."

Director Statement

English:
"Many of the experiences and feelings that have shaped me as an artist over a decade have found an outlet of my feelings and inspiration and have made their debut in this film. Love, rejection, joy, grief, nervousness, self-destruction, addiction, intoxication, star-grasping, disappointment, health, self-acceptance and acceptance of one's own destiny and its accompanying blows. For many years, I put off this story, and now it is finally here in its final form. That long ride was like therapy for me. A kind of short biography of a decade with a bit of creative freedom. "The Audition Kiss". A true project of the heart with many hurdles to overcome, which the movie reflects beautifully. The ups and downs, as well as, the irony, of life.”

German:
„Viele Erfahrungen und Gefühle, die mich selbst über ein Jahrzehnt als Künstler geprägt haben, haben mit diesem Film ein Ventil meiner Gefühle und Inspiration gefunden und ihr Debüt gefeiert. Liebe, Ablehnung, Freude, Trauer, Nervosität, Selbstzerstörung, Sucht, Rausch, das Greifen nach den Sternen, Enttäuschung, Gesundheit, Selbstakzeptanz und die Akzeptanz seines eigenen Schicksals und der dazugehörigen Schicksalsschläge. Viele Jahre habe ich diese Erzählung vor mir hergeschoben und nun ist sie endlich in ihrer finalen Form zu sehen. Dieser lange Ritt war wie eine Therapie für mich. Eine Art Kurzbiografie eines Jahrzehnts mit kreativen Freiheiten. "The Audition Kiss". Ein wahres Herzensprojekt mit vielen Hürden, die es zu überwinden gab, was der Film aber toll widerspiegelt. Das Auf und Ab, sowie, die Ironie, des Lebens (Komma-/Pausensetzung in diesem Satz gewollt für den dramatischen Effekt und das Hervorheben dieses spontanen Reims ;) xD).“
