We’re casting for a series of short (15 second maximum duration), comedic social films set in a world where everyday life has been subtly overtaken by football fever. These films are connected to the World Cup and are in partnership with a well-known betting brand.

🚨 Important: Applicants MUST be aged 25 or over. We cannot legally consider any applicant below the age of 25 so please do not apply if you are not age appropriate.

These are naturalistic, relatable scenarios, office, meeting, garden and kitchen, where characters behave almost normally, but with small, absurd football-inspired instincts creeping in.

The tone is dry, observational and grounded, think The Office, The Thick of It, This Country. Performances should feel completely real and unforced, with humour coming from sincerity and commitment rather than playing for laughs.

We’re looking for natural performers who can deliver understated comedy, people who feel like real colleagues, partners, or shoppers, not “actors”. Subtle reactions, awkward timing, and lived-in authenticity are key.

➡️ CASTING DETAILS:
- Please submit your Casting Callback profile and demo reel for consideration
- Short-listed talent may be invited to self-tape

Content

We’re casting a natural, relatable woman for a short comedic scene set in a public bathroom. The character is mid-conversation while casually getting ready, before revealing she’s been using lipstick to draw a St. George’s flag on her face, fully caught up in the World Cup atmosphere.

Performance should feel completely real and unforced; dry, observational, and grounded in the style of The Office, The Thick of It, This Country. The humour comes from sincerity and contrast, not playing for laughs.

The role requires strong subtlety and timing, the reveal should feel effortless and slightly absurd, with no wink to camera. The key is to play this straight.

A light touch with physical comedy is important, particularly in the casual confidence of the action and the normality of the interaction.

Actors must be comfortable with having lipstick/face paint on their face.

🚨 Important:
Applicants must be aged 25 or over by law. We will be carrying out DBA checks on all cast, so please only apply if you meet this requirement.
