Inspired by true events, The Audition highlights the rampant use of people of color subjected to portray stereotypes in both television and film and shows how many Latino actors are passed over as too ethnic or too “Latino” for a non-Hispanic character — as well as not being “brown” enough for explicitly Latino roles.
The Audition hopes to bring awareness to the glaring lack of diversity in roles for Latinos and also inspire other Latinos to create their own content and tell their stories.
