Really enjoyed this. Josh Taback's realistic, low-key comic nature was very appealing. Phil Newby played the pain-in-the-ass casting director well, and Jennifer Skelly was fine as the flirtatious camera girl. Taback wrote a fine skit, and his direction was "right on".

Father of a 24 year old? LOL Poor "Ralph"... are your eyes seriously *that* blue? This was very funny, "shenanigans" and all -- but I expect nothing else! --Jen

I know you didn't make it into that amazingly anti-climatic TOP 20, but you still have my vote.

Seriously...CAST OFF is pure, filmatic gold, in (my)comparison(s).
