Description:

Seeking talents from New York City, NY Local hires only. Roles paying up to US$1,000 Project Description: Casting a paid non-union commercial campaign for P.C. Richard & Son. This project is a story-driven series of short retail spots built around grounded household comedy, family dynamics, and the value of helpful in-store service. The campaign follows customers as they shop for appliances, mattresses, grills, TVs, and home products in ways that feel specific, relatable, and lightly funny. Tone should feel natural, warm, current, and performance-driven, not broad sketch comedy or hard sell. Strong comedic timing, grounded reactions, and believable chemistry are important. This campaign is also being developed as a proof-of-concept for a potential recurring character world within the P.C. Richard & Son retail environment. Successful casting may be considered for future related spots if the campaign continues. Final pieces may include longer social / digital versions and shorter cutdowns for broadcast, streaming, paid digital, social, web, and vertical formats. Production will capture both horizontal and vertical formats, so talent should be comfortable repeating performance beats for multiple camera setups. Dates & Locations: Shoot date is May 28th and will be one contained production day at a P.C. Richard & Son retail location in the Long Island area. Production is expected to take place during an evening / overnight window, with final timing and location provided after booking.

Callbacks will be scheduled on a rolling basis until May 22nd, with final cast confirmations expected by May 22nd.
