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

Sarah is composed and capable, with a quiet authority, someone who feels in control of her environment.

This makes her football-driven moments of instinct more surprising. When she slips, she fully commits physically (decisive, purposeful action), before quickly reining it in and reasserting normality as if nothing happened.

We’re looking for an actor who can balance control with flashes of physical comedy; confident, grounded, and able to make bold behaviour feel completely believable.

Strong deadpan instincts and control are key, with an ability to land physical comedy in a minimal, unshowy way.

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.
