Dreamland: Pilot Season

Every year between January and April thousands of struggling young actors compete to get auditions to get their big break in a television pilot that might or might not get broadcast. This series of portraits and interviews is a look at a side of the entertainment industry that we never see: the lives, hopes and dreams of a few of many thousands who are struggling to make it into the limelight, some of whom might succeed and some of whom will remain invisible.
