We are seeking actors for a short social campaign film on behalf of Manchester City Council's Crisis Resilience Fund.

This film will depict a variety of ordinary people engaging in daily activities in Manchester, accompanied by a voiceover that explains how the Crisis Resilience Fund can offer one-time assistance when unexpected expenses threaten to escalate into a financial crisis.

This is not an enactment of poverty or financial struggle. We will not require performers to portray distress or visible hardship. The visual style is warm, natural, and observational, capturing subtle moments of everyday life in Manchester.

There will be no direct dialogue or lines to memorize. Performances will revolve around simple, natural activities and interactions.

Filming is scheduled to take place in Manchester over the course of one day, tentatively set for the 5th of October.

We are looking for a young Black man for a series of naturalistic scenes representing someone starting a new job and travelling into Manchester.

We will see him moving through his neighbourhood dressed for work, waiting at a bus stop and later making his way through a busy Manchester city centre.

This is an observational, understated performance rather than a conventional acting role. There is no dialogue and no requirement to portray financial distress.

We're looking for someone with a natural, relatable screen presence who feels authentically at home in Manchester.
