FEEDBACK Hack - Short - 7 pgs

Title: Hack

Format: Short

Length: 7 pages

Genre: Black Comedy

Logline: An actor grows increasingly anxious after an audition.

I posted this short a while back, but I made some edits that I believe strengthen the overall story. I was aiming for a sort of black comedy/fever-dream feel for it. I plan to shoot this myself with a very small crew. Open to any feedback, but mainly curious how you feel about the story itself. Too on the nose? Cheers!

You do a good job painting some nice details, and I liked the meditation suddenly getting dark. I would personally say just leave it at “  Now, I want you to take a deep breath and hold it because you don't deserve to take another.” and cut out the dialogue after that.
