CASTING CALL: Lead, Thriller-Style Sleep Commercial (Non-Union)
FutureCraft Media is casting the lead for a cinematic commercial for a Canadian wellness brand. The spot is shot like the trailer for a big-budget thriller: one woman, one sleepless night, and a relentless hunt for the sleep that keeps escaping her.
Role: THE HUNTER
Female, playing age 35 to 50, ethnicity open. She’s up at 3 a.m. and done waiting. Smart, determined and a little unhinged in the funniest way, she stalks sleep through her house like an action hero. The role has no dialogue, so the whole performance lives in the face and body. We need someone who can play it completely straight and fully committed, so the comedy comes from the intensity.
Physical requirements
- Comfortable with minor stunts: diving behind furniture, lunging and leaping, and landing on padded surfaces
- Athletic, coordinated, and able to repeat physical moves over multiple takes
- Wardrobe is silk pajamas, with room for protective padding underneath
- All stunts will be choreographed and supervised with safety measures in place
Details
Shoot date: Monday, October 26, 2026 (one day, including evening and night work)
Location: Private residence in Mississauga, Ontario
Rate: $ 500 flat / day rate, including buyout for all media, worldwide
Union status: Non-union only (ACTRA members are not eligible)
To submit
Email a headshot, resume and link to a demo reel or previous work to [email protected] with the subject line “THE HUNTER: [Your Name].” Physical or stunt footage is a strong plus.
Submission deadline: Friday, October 23 at 11am
