The producer is working on filming an interview show, which is not going as expected. They are watching their storied host lose her composure. You will need to project alarm, concern, professionalism, and authority with a handful of words. Real broadcast or live-event experience is a plus. The producer may or may not appear on camera. The producer’s countdown performance is essential to the film. Required Media: Headshot/Photo, Video Reel, Resume
Non-speaking. The camera operators and crew are watching the interview and are the surrogate for the audience. They are focused intently on their work while responding in real time as the host begins to unravel, including expressing surprise and confusion. Production experience preferred, but not required, and we are primarily looking for naturalistic performers.
Non-speaking. Part of the police force for a near future timeline in an unnamed territory. Sequences are shot close-up and claustrophobically from the perspective of a character as he is getting handcuffed and being forced to/on the ground. Minimal focus on the face, but rather footsteps, boots, hands while handcuffing.
