Audition Tape

Vonka is an aspiring actress who is desperate to land a good role in an upcoming movie. Her agent keeps getting her damsel in distress work, and while she is not happy about being typecast, she needs to eat and keep a roof over her head. In an effort to give herself an edge over other hopefuls for the part, Vonka decides to put together an audition tape showing what she can do in various damsel situations. She asks her friend Dave to help her, so he sets up a green screen so that they can simulate Vonka being tied to train tracks with a train approaching, or tied to lumber in a sawmill, destined to roll along a conveyor to s spinning saw. Vonka is doing a decent job, but Dave thinks she can do better. For her third scenario, he ties her to a chair and places a time bomb beside her. When he sets it beside her and sets it going, she is impressed by how authentic it looks. Admiration turns to horror when Dave says he has had enough of helping her out and that she never pays him for his time, and tells that the bomb is real. He backs away, leading Vonka to believe that he is serious. She panics, but she is tightly tied up and can do nothing to stop the count down.
