Friends Table — Spec Commercial

About the Job

Seeking 3 to 4 actors, ages 20 to 40, for a one-day non-union spec commercial. This is a reel-building project directed by a DGA director, not a paid brand campaign, but it is a paid gig for cast. The concept: a small group of friends gathered around a home dinner table at dusk. The tone is warm, dialogue-light, and visually driven, similar to a Chick-fil-A or Hallmark-style brand spot. We are looking for natural chemistry between cast members and comfort with light improvisation. A short unscripted warm-up will be shot before the scripted coverage to capture genuine reactions, which you are welcome to use for your own reel as well. Shoot details: one day, 6 to 7 hours on set, in West Hills, CA (private residence), sometime late July through the first week of August 2026. Flat rate paid at wrap, covering the full day whether it runs closer to 7 or the full 8 hours. A meal will be provided on set, and you will receive raw footage and a copy of the final edit for your own reel. We are not looking for memorized dialogue delivery. What matters most is how naturally you read on camera with the rest of the group.
