Roll It

Rochan Liu
United States, 2026, 6 min.

In English.

A struggling actress discovers that staying positive is the hardest role of all.

Director's Statement

I’m drawn to comedy that grows out of deeply human, difficult moments. The idea for Roll It came from my co-writer and lead actress, Emily Wilson’s lived experience. Like many working actors, Emily has spent countless early mornings squeezing last-minute self-tape auditions into an already packed day. At its heart, Roll It is a love letter to our friends and collaborators in the industry - people who keep showing up and giving it their all, even when the ground beneath them feels unsteady.

Category: Comedy, Short.
Themes: Filmmaking.
