A SAG dramatic short film titled “JOE, KNOW? NO!” is seeking talent to portray Joe, a grounded, thoughtful family man navigating the emotional friction of marriage, work, and boundaries. The project is written and directed by Asaph Polonsky, with Marchant Davis (REALITY) attached to play Rob.

Joe is an immigration lawyer, a devoted husband and father, and someone who appears confident with people he knows—but can read as shy or guarded with strangers. He’s optimistic but realistic, polite yet assertive, and values kindness and boundaries, even when others don’t return the same energy.

  • Collaborate with the director and production team during rehearsal and filming to align performance with the story’s tone and pacing.

  • Portray subtle relationship dynamics, internal conflict, and character authenticity in a concise short-film format.

  • Attend a scheduled rehearsal day and be available for 1–2 shoot days as needed by production.

Requirements

  • Gender: Male

  • Age Range: 40s (approximately 40)

  • Ethnicity: Any ethnicity

  • Role Type: Supporting

  • Must be comfortable portraying a married father of two and performing emotionally nuanced material.

  • Professionalism on set, ability to take direction, and strong character-driven acting skills.

Compensation Details

  • Rate: $250 per day

  • Additional Time Commitment: 1 rehearsal day + 1–2 shoot days (paid shoot days; rehearsal details provided by production)

How do I find a legit casting call?

To find legitimate casting calls, start by using reputable platforms like Project Casting, which vets postings to ensure authenticity. Always research the casting company or director associated with the call. Legitimate opportunities typically don’t require payment to audition, and any contact should come from professional email addresses rather than personal accounts.

Can you audition without an agent?

Yes, you can audition without an agent. Many open casting calls and online platforms allow individual actors to submit directly for roles. While having an agent can provide access to more exclusive opportunities and handle negotiations, many new actors start their careers by attending open calls or self-submitting for roles online.

What is the difference between a casting call and an audition?

A casting call is a notice put out by producers or casting directors seeking potential actors for roles, inviting them to apply or present themselves. An audition is the process where actors perform a specific piece, like a monologue or a script, in front of the casting team after responding to a casting call. Essentially, the casting call is the request, and the audition is the response.

What is the best free casting call website?

Generally, you should not pay to attend casting calls. Legitimate casting calls and auditions do not require payment from actors. If a casting call asks for money to audition or to secure a role, it is likely a scam. The standard practice is that any fees associated with the casting process are covered by the production.
