This is a casting for Sky Bet.

In the film we see two well known Football personalities walking along a busy street in a busy town / city somewhere in the UK.

As the camera follows as they walk we see that all around them members of the public are catching 'World Cup Fever' and have started acting out famous footballing moments or actions as part of their day to day lives.

We are looking for people with characterful faces that represent a cross section of British people.

We see them celebrating an imagined goal,

Believable faces and grounded performances are what root us in authenticity and the everyday, while this playful and slightly unnormal World Cup fever spreads across the country.

We want performers who can register the shift truthfully. Small reactions, a pause, a glance, a reluctant smile, then the moment they give in to the fever.
