Eric Lexis audition

Eric Lexis smooths his red-and-blue striped tie over the pinstripe vest, fingers brushing the fabric before he steps closer to the camera, hand resting on his shoulder as if testing the weight of the suit. His clean-shaven jaw tightens slightly when he adjusts the vest again, then he leans into the armrest, chest expanding under the tailored fit. Every movement is deliberate, tie, vest, pose, each one a calculated frame in this solo performance.
