Featured Extra (m/f) as an “elegant man” for a bank commercial

For a DKB campaign featuring video clips, photos, and short vignettes edited together in a lively, eclectic style, we’re looking for talented, diverse performers of all backgrounds. Please note that casting is available exclusively from Berlin only, as we are unable to cover accommodation or travel expenses.

Below and in the attachment, you’ll find all the necessary information and mood boards.

Along with the invitation, we’re also sending a link to the casting instructions as well as audio files for creating your self-tape audition. Ultimately, this time we only need a brief introduction, answers to a few questions, and a few dance moves.

Fee: €600 flat rate for 1 day of filming, all-inclusive, including fitting, plus 20% agency fee (includes 1-year buyout)
Buyouts: 1 year digital/online, including social media, CTV, and ATV
1st year: included in the fee
2nd Year: 100% of the daily fee = €1,200 plus 20% agency fee (optional)

TRAVEL & PAYMENT

We are only looking for artists based in Berlin and cannot cover travel expenses .

In case of doubt, payment will be processed via the income tax card, provided there is no BfA exemption or proof of membership in the Artists’ Social Insurance Fund.

We look forward to your responses and applications, and thank you very much for reading through this detailed description 

1 × elegantly dressed man 45–58 years old

Ultimately, all of these roles are less about conventional beauty or perfect acting and more about credibility, character, and spontaneity. We’re looking for people who have an interesting look, bring their own energy to the table, and don’t try to “act like they’re in a commercial” in front of the camera. The ideal casting feels more like being observed than staged: individual, approachable, humorous, and a little imperfect.
