I want to watch Vin Diesel's short film "Multi-Facial"


Search
: multi facial

Why: A professor played it in a class called "The Perception of Racism" I took sophomore year, probably to fulfill some sort of Core requirement. In it, Vin Diesel goes around to various auditions, dressing and speaking like the roles in question - a black character, a Latino, an Italian, a Jew maybe... I don't know, I haven't seen it since 2002.

Answer: It's only 20 minutes long! Watch it all!
He made it in 1994, and according to the Internet:
The film was noticed by director Steven Spielberg, who would cast Diesel in Saving Private Ryan (1998).

The More You Know: IRL, Vin Diesel (b. Mark Sinclair Vincent, 1967) has Italian and black ancestry.
