NYC writer and content creator casting interesting, expressive people for a series of short, cinematic videos about books, love, life, and the conversations we remember. Think: two strangers sitting across from each other, talking about a book or an idea that means something — intimate, natural, thoughtful, and beautifully filmed. You do NOT need to be a professional actor. In fact, we're especially interested in people who feel natural and authentic on camera. DETAILS • Date: Thursday, September 24 • Location: Midtown Manhattan • Pay: $20 cash • Time: Only 10–30 minutes • Finished videos: Under 2 minutes • Minimal dialogue • All experience levels welcome You'll be given everything you need when you arrive. We're looking for personality, presence, and genuine reactions — not a perfect performance. If you love books, storytelling, acting, filmmaking — or you just think this sounds like a fun way to spend 20 minutes in NYC — apply. TO APPLY: Send: • Your first name + age • A recent photo/headshot (doesn't need to be professional) • A sentence or two about yourself • Acting/on-camera experience, if you have any (totally optional!) • Your availability on Thursday 9/24 No reel required. No professional headshot required. Beginners are genuinely welcome. If you are professional and talented, you will be chosen for future projects.
