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.

Title

Deaf Woman

Content

We are specifically looking for a Deaf woman who genuinely uses British Sign Language.

She will be filmed spending time outdoors with a friend - chatting naturally in BSL, walking beside a pond and sharing relaxed, everyday moments together.

Her deafness is not the subject of the film or her storyline. She is simply one of several ordinary Manchester residents represented within the campaign.

We would ideally like the successful applicant to appear with a real friend or someone they already know and naturally communicate with in BSL. Please mention when applying if there is somebody who may be happy to appear alongside you.

Both people appearing on camera will be paid.

No scripted dialogue and no requirement to perform financial hardship.
