We are seeking casting for two main roles and five background extras for a one-day, non-union holiday commercial to be filmed in a contemporary home in Costa Mesa, CA, on Friday, November 20, 2026.

This project tells a heartwarming, visually engaging Christmas gathering story, featuring an adult son getting his home ready for a family visit. He will welcome his visiting mother or grandmother, culminating in a day spent joyfully together. The tone is intended to be intimate and uplifting, capturing the essence of a high-quality holiday commercial with genuine, natural interactions rather than theatrical displays.

The performance will be entirely visual with no spoken dialogue. Actors will convey the narrative through actions such as cooking, hosting, greeting and hugging, gift-giving, sharing a family dinner, and taking photos, all accompanied by a separately recorded voiceover.

The shoot will last 10 hours, with wardrobe and meals provided. Specific call times and location details will be communicated to those selected for the roles.

This work includes a perpetual, worldwide, all-media buyout. Talent must sign a release, and the agreed rate encompasses these usage rights; there will be no additional fees or residuals.

PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR DEMO REELS FOR CONSIDERATION (LEAD ROLES)
