Award-winning director at a top-level production company with a great spec idea looking for professional talent to help get a killer spot onto the Super Bowl.



Roles:
[Dad] 30s. A young father type who’s not quite ready for another baby. He’d rather be drinking beer on the couch. He should be able to communicate his hesitation, and lack of enthusiasm subtly, and should make us laugh without cracking a smile.

[Mom] 30s. A young mother going through labor, and all the pain, frustration, and very real emotions that go along with it. She should feel unquestionably real, and not like she's acting.

[Nurse] Woman, 40s. She’s got thick skin. She’s seen it all. This is a tough cookie. It takes a lot to shock her, but when it happens, it is guttural and real.

[Doctor] Male, mid-50s. He’s been doing this for years. He’s sort of over it, but he's still a good guy. He’s just a little distracted, and the kind of guy who would check a text message while delivering a baby.

[Heavy Metal Guitar Virtuoso] Male, ages 25-40. This guy is a fan of guitar virtuoso Steve Vai, heavy metal, etc. He should be able to play guitar well, if not masterfully. Or at least be able to fake a bad-ass guitar solo and make it look amazing. He should also be a deadpan comedic genius who can keep things straight-faced and awesome. Think American Movie.

[Heavy Metal Dude or Dudette] Male or Female, Ages 25-40. This is Guitar Virtuoso's best friend. He/she doesn't ever say or do much, but loves to listen to heavy metal and eat donuts. The guys from American Movie are great reference. Or Charlyne Yi in Knocked Up.



Overall, we’re looking for professional actors who feel real. Unique people, interesting faces, unexpected personalities, and unconventional comedic talents who can take funny things seriously. Aiming for simple, subtle, internal, and deadpan.

That being said… facial hair, regional/foreign accents, bald heads, coke bottle glasses, mullets, pimply faces, and all other interesting physical features and/or character traits totally encouraged.



Pay:
No Pay, unless ad enters SAG contract... but great addition to your acting reel.

Shoot date: Tuesday November 3.
