Character Description
Soft-spoken, easygoing, and kind, Ian is a polite and hardworking journalist who usually doesn't mind when his coworker Leslie orders him around. No one would guess that he's not just the mild-mannered, gentle man everyone thinks he is. But underneath his unassuming exterior, Ian has a secret life in the shadows... and it's starting to catch up to him.

Scene Description
Ian and Leslie are coworkers in a news organization. With a tight deadline looming, Ian has been MIA, until Leslie barges into the office men's room to discover him bruised up and disheveled, attempting to clean up a bloody nose.

great work! Bold choice to look directly into the camera-as though you were looking at yourself in the mirror...especially when we're all taught to look off to the side.

Great job JP! I felt the tension. Loved the pacing.

One technical thought: Might consider ending the tape a little sooner after the last line. Just my 2 cents!

Great self tape. I liked your pauses and the undertone messages I felt. You did a great job of portraying a good guy with a potential "something to hide" and you came down from the elevated frustration really good. I also liked how you didn't just cut the tape, but ended with some added action. I also liked how I could see your eyes through the taping. I enjoyed it. Thanks for showing us your work.
