Before heading out to Toronto, I had the chance to make up for missing out on this Sundance number (conflict of scheduling). It's a first time film that is raw and definitely low budget, but the first 30 minutes will charm the dickens out of you. To be released by Magnolia Pictures this coming Friday, today we have a special treat for you: an exclusive clip from the comedy.
Written by George Smith and Zobel, The Great World of Sound is the story of two struggling talent agents searching for the next – or simply nearest – best thing. This evokes conflicted hucksters from Willy Loman and the Maysles Brothers’ SALESMAN to the seedy charmers of seventies Altman. With real-life audition footage weaved into the fictional narrative, Zobel’s provocative debut explores the outer limits of our desire for celebrity, where big dreams beget bigger illusions, and fame always has its price.
Look for our interview with director Craig Zobel shortly, in the mean time feast your eyes on this clip. This is where the dynamic duo meet and greet their first audition.
