Description:

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Looking to fill a handful of characters/roles for an upcoming spec commercial series! More details are below. About the project: Logline: This campaign follows a cast of characters quietly losing it in the chaos of office life. Directors break into a series of shorter vignettes featuring employees across different departments, all tied together by a single thread: the things they wish they could say to HR. Talking draft emails never sent. PowerPoints built on spite. Brainstorms that could’ve been avoided entirely. This is the voice of the modern workplace, stripped of spin. Honest. Petty. Deeply relatable. Rate: Non union. Volunteer/Unpaid. Additional information: Dates: August 9-10, 2025. Super fun, creative direction with an awesome team. Location: Etobicoke. When appying, please submit a recent photo of yourself, your measurements, and your demo reel. Please use the subject line: "SPEC - CASTING - ROLE" (fill this in with the name of the role you’re applying for).

6 roles

Character 01 – The Micro ManagerFemale40-69 y.o.White / Caucasian

The one with a strong opinion on everything and expertise in absolutely nothing. She’s not the boss, not the expert, and definitely not productive, but somehow still manages to critique everyone else’s job like it’s her full-time role.

Character 02 – The EmployeeMale20-39 y.o.African-American Latino / Hispanic Other Asian Middle Eastern Native American Pacific Islander Indian/South Asian

BIPOC. They keep their head down and get the job done. It’s not their dream, but they show up. They look polished, but you can tell they resent the corporate uniform. There’s always something just slightly off-code: a streak of rebellious hair, shoes that push the dress code, or an accessory that says, “I’m here, but not all in.”

Character 03 – The AccountantFemale30-59 y.o.African-American Latino / Hispanic Other Asian Middle Eastern Native American Pacific Islander Indian/South Asian

BIPOC. She’s a witch-just kidding, she’s just the accountant. But let’s be honest, the vibes are uncanny. Stone-faced, emotionally unreadable, and just a touch bitter from always being cast as the office villain.

Character 05 – The InternBoth genders20-29 y.o.All ethnicities

The office dumping ground. Everyone’s grunt work somehow lands on their desk. Overworked, underpaid, and constantly saying yes to prove their worth, until it all boils over.

Character 06 – The BossMale30-49 y.o.All ethnicities

The "cool" guy who climbed the ladder with zero effort, thanks, nepotism. He doesn’t read emails, name-drops like it’s a sport, and vanishes mid-day for “business development,” aka golf with his frat buddies.

Character 08 – The Annoyed EmployeeBoth genders20-49 y.o.All ethnicities

Female-identifying. She’s flawlessly put together, striking outfit, perfect hair, pristine nails. But after the third time, the boss claims they never saw the email, something in her snapped. She walks out calm, collected, and silent… then quietly unravels.
