Young actor (m/f) for a TV and movie theater commercial for an international automotive client

For an atmospheric, pre-Christmas TV and movie commercial for an international automotive client, we are looking for diverse personalities and authentic faces from a wide range of generations.

Through several unrelated vignettes, the film captures brief moments of being on the move: People on their way home, traveling through wintry landscapes, cities, and nights—on their way to the people and places that matter to them.

At first, the individual scenes appear independent of one another, but as the film progresses, they come together emotionally to form a larger whole.

Please record videos following the instructions below. Of course, recordings made with a cell phone or similar device are acceptable.

However, please ensure that your faces and your acting are clearly visible.

Part 1

Please briefly introduce yourselves at the beginning:

• Name

• Age

• City of residence

• Acting training / experience

• Selection of previous projects

Particularly relevant:

• Automotive campaigns

• Current TV/movie commercials

Availability in August / September  (please also explicitly state any time periods when you are definitely unavailable)

Please film yourself during the introduction:

• front view / portrait (i.e., roughly a close-up)

• Close-up profile / left and right

• Medium close-up and full body – include both profiles here as well

• Please also show your hands in close-up during the close-up shot!

 
Part 2 “Scenes”

Please select the appropriate part—including the lines of dialogue—for which you are applying, based on the role description and the character’s age.

Important Note!

All described roles and gender assignments are intended solely as an initial creative guide for tone, dynamics, and scene.

Applications are welcome regardless of gender identity or personal background!

Please apply for the role or situation with which you most strongly identify emotionally and in terms of age.

Character: Someone you trust immediately. Friendly, open, approachable, quick-witted.

SCENE 1 — “NIGHT DRIVE”

You’re driving alone at night along a winter road.

It’s late.
You’re tired.
But you push through because someone is waiting for you.

Please act out the following:

• Concentration

• Tiredness

• inner calm

• quiet perseverance

But your performance culminates in the following statement (something you say only to yourself):

“Oh, only 600 km to go.”

Important: this sentence is not meant sarcastically. You mean it exactly as you say it. You say it as if it were a milestone and you’ve already covered at least twice that distance. And try to make it sound like you’re really “talking to yourself”—all alone in the car—and not for the viewer!!

SCENE 2 — Arrival

You walk heroically out of the depths of the room toward the camera and just barely past it.

If your camera or cell phone has a slow-motion feature, feel free to use it.
