Casting a diverse/mixed raced family for very well known chocolate brand
We would preferably like to cast a real family, that are totally at ease with each other and have an unselfconscious naturalness in camera.
We are currently looking for:
- grandad
- dad
- mum
- teenage daughter (about 14)
- son (about 11)
- little girl (about 6)
but it doesn’t have to strictly be that list if we find a great group, as long as there’s a range of old and young.
This family could be made up from neighbours /friends /cousins etc. People who are close to your family and can act as one family.
We’re keen to find a diverse/mixed diversity cast. We would love to explore different accents and ethnicities.
No-one too polished or perfect.
All that matters is they feel warm, totally relatable, and everyday, with a bit of quirk, personality and character chucked in.
Whole family is a bonus but open to options.
Shoot info:
Location: London (within M25)
Date: Thursday 23rd March (this may shift as it’s not set in stone)
Usage: 3 months online, social channels (incl paid media), PR and digital channels to cover YouTube and Vyde
Broadcast territories: UK & Ireland
We need to licence children early next week so self tapes required this weekend.
Family will be picked from self tapes .
We are mainly shooting family’s hands /backs of heads /sides of faces so in a way the family is anonymous – we may hear your voices within family interaction scenarios.
Paying flat fee of £500 per family member (So 6 parts x £500.00)
