Video Librarian Looks at Nora Highland
In the opening scene of Nora Highland, Sam (Erick Patrick Harper) auditions for a role with a casting director (Mallory Portnoy). Even though it's embarrassing, the scene is amusing. The meeting appears doomed from the start due to issues with machinery, the workplace, and subordinates.
The Meeting, which takes place roughly in the middle of the film, is critical to understanding Nora Highland. This is where a successful, elderly actor meets a mostly frustrated director with a golden opportunity for a conversation that turns out to be an audition.
