Description:

Casting actors for "Permanent Staff" Short Film, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: This a short mockumentary comedy takes viewers inside a quirky, nerd-themed tattoo shop for one chaotic day. As the team prepares for a new client’s appointment, awkward encounters, dry sarcasm, and strange requests pile up. From a receptionist who doesn’t suffer fools to an overly enthusiastic client with a bizarre tattoo idea, the shop’s crew tries to keep things professional—barely. It’s ink, banter, and barely controlled chaos, all captured documentary-style. Rate: This is an unpaid project. All cast members will receive on-set meals, IMDB and screen credit, and a copy of the final cut for use in their reel. Additional info: Prepare for a cold read of a short dialogue between you and a client. Please apply if interested.

ReceptionistMale20-39 y.o.All ethnicities

(Supporting Lead) The receptionist is the first line of defense—and sarcasm—at the front desk. Sharp-witted, deadpan, and unbothered by chaos, they greet every situation with a dry comment and a raised eyebrow. Think Aubrey Plaza energy with a friendlier undertone. . Ideal Traits: Strong comedic timing, ability to deliver dry or deadpan humor naturally, comfort with light improvisation.
