Casting Call: Real Couples for Dating App Commercial
Job Description: Hammond Cox Casting is seeking real couples for an upcoming worldwide commercial for a dating app. We are interested in vibrant and dynamic younger couples, ideally in their 20s, of all genders. The couples should embody a modern, stylish aesthetic with a directional look. We value diversity and are particularly keen on representing gender-fluid, non-binary individuals, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Authenticity is key, so you don’t need to have met through a dating app, but if that’s your story, we’d love to hear it!
Job Responsibilities:
- Participate in a commercial shoot, representing real couples in various scenarios as directed by the production team.
- Work collaboratively with the director, producers, and other talent to create a genuine and engaging portrayal of a couple for the dating app.
- Be prepared to travel and participate in shoots as scheduled.
- Maintain a professional demeanor on set at all times.
Requirements:
- Must be a real couple, ideally in your 20s, but all ages are welcome.
- Open to all genders and orientations, with a focus on gender-fluid and non-binary individuals.
- Must not be a professional performer; a cool, super-stylish, directional look is more important than modeling experience.
- Must have a valid passport and be available for travel and shooting in Prague from the 3rd of February (the shoot will likely extend to a 4-day commitment).
- Must be comfortable with all working days being filmed.
Compensation:
- The role is well-paid, with specifics to be discussed upon successful casting.
- All expenses for travel, accommodation, and on-set meals will be covered.
