by indo american arts council

"After years of dead-end auditions and struggling for ten years, Meera is ready to give up life in N.Y. Once hailed as the “next big thing her career has stagnated and she is heading towards no-where-land. The options she thought would always be there seem to have quietly slipped away. But still, Meera won’t go down without a fight and decides to make one last attempt. Follow Meera through the hilarious triumphs and humiliating defeats on her last day of auditions where she runs the gauntlet: confronting dismissive casting directors, lecherous producers, and the success of her former friends. Later that night, unable to sleep and reflecting on her life, she reminisces about the conversation she had as a child with her mother about Karma and her dream to become an actress. Will she give up her dream or decide to do her Karma without the thought of risk or reward?
