On-set experience in a national brand shoot
We’re casting for a fun social-first video project with a major consumer automotive store brand. We’re looking for one Latina/Hispanic female performer who feels authentic, relatable, and natural on camera. The role is best suited for someone who has acting ability but also embodies the energy of a UGC/content creator, comfortable shooting selfie-style, delivering casual scripted dialogue, and bringing a playful, engaging presence to short social videos.
You’ll appear in two short-form videos (shot at the same location, same day) with simple scenarios and light dialogue. One concept includes quick reaction-style commentary, while the other leans into a fun, authentic “POV” storytelling style (pre-scripted). Think natural, conversational delivery... someone who feels like a real person sharing an experience with their audience.
The production will be simple and straightforward, filmed locally (8725 Tara Boulevard, Jonesboro, GA) in early August (between August 2–7). The payment will be $250 and should take no more than 2-3 hours. We’ll be asking interested talent to submit a short audition video reading a few sample lines to help us get a sense of your style and personality.
If you’re confident on camera, love creating content that feels real and fun, and are excited to collaborate on a social-first campaign, we’d love to hear from you!
