    Note: It was honest. In Vin Diesel's case, that's a lot.

    After waiting about 10 years to finally see this, I found it on the Internet and it was EVERYTHING I have expected: the heartbreaking truth behind being multi-ethnic as a struggling actor. Vin Diesel is a true talent that must be recognized as someone in desperate need of better ...( read more)screenplays and better opportunities to showcase his talents. The process of auditioning is always hysterical and sometimes even depressing and this shortfilm shows exactly that. But I actually thought that it wasn't so much about being multi-ethnic as it was about a guy who loves acting so damn much to keep on trying to break into the business, constantly letting everybody know who his inspirations are: from Brando to Denzel and Pacino, this character, based on the actual Vin, won't stop acting, even if sometimes he is "too black" and sometimes he is "too white".

    Quoting his wonderful screenplay:
    "My father didn't want me to be a black actor. He wanted me to go a step further and just be an Actor..."

    Splendid. A must see. Look for it on YouTube, you won't regret it.

    Some good acting but no real content. Vin's self made audition tape that seemed to work.

    I wish that more people would take the time to watch this little gem.
    It's a brilliant story that tells the confusion of being too dark, too light, too this or too that...when we should just be happy to be ourselves. Vin Diesel did a fantastic job at making this film, I just wish...( read more) that more people would discover how brilliant he is.

    I wasn't expecting this.

    A lot of people don't give Vin Diesel the credit he deserves. People view him only as some dude with muscles when personally, after watching this film, I see him as an excellent actor and filmmaker.

    I was so used to his later roles like Riddick, Domonic...( read more) Torreto, and XXX, it definitely puts perspective on his persona.

    This film played like my life and probably others who are trying to achieve their goals any where they can. And when you think the world is against you, guess what? You're not the only one.

    Written and directing by Vin himeself about the challenges of multi-ethnicities particularly for casting in ethnic roles. This movie waas the real start of Vin's career: catching the eye of Spielberg, who then cast him for SAVING PRIVATE RYAN.
