Casting Call – PAID ACTING OPPORTUNITIES

Job Position(s): Casting Call – PAID ACTING OPPORTUNITIES

Film in Colorado is seeking actors in Colorado for paid acting opportunities on For All Humankind, a short film produced under the Project DU F.I.L.M. banner as part of Womanhood: The Series, Season Two. This is an on-camera acting role in a narrative short, contributing to a completed episodic short film production with a defined story and character arc. The role suits early-career actors building short film credits in episodic and indie production contexts.

About the Role

For All Humankind is co-produced by a DU film student and faculty collaborator Dr. Sheila Schroeder, placing it within an academic short film production with a genuine episodic series framework behind it. The project centers on a woman engineer navigating a male-dominated brainstorming session around helmet design for moon cave exploration, so actors are working with a specific, scripted narrative. A typical day on set will involve character work within a contained short film shoot, consistent with student and independent short film production timelines.

Key Responsibilities

• Portray scripted characters within a short film narrative focused on professional dynamics and genre-specific world-building.
• Prepare and deliver performance work suited to the tone of an episodic short film series aimed at female-centered storytelling.
• Collaborate with the producing team on set to meet the production schedule of a student short film shoot.
• Bring physicality and presence to scenes that involve ensemble brainstorming dynamics within a contained interior setting.
• Commit to the creative vision of a co-produced short film within the Womanhood: The Series season two slate.

What You Bring

• Prior on-camera acting experience in short film, student film, or independent production is a plus.
• Comfort working within a student-led short film production structure under faculty co-production oversight.
• Ability to take direction and adapt performance within a compressed indie shoot schedule.
• Interest in projects centered on women’s narratives and genre-inflected short film storytelling.

Why This Role

Film in Colorado is connecting local talent to paid acting opportunities on a project with a real episodic series home, which is a meaningful credit for actors working in Colorado’s independent film scene. For All Humankind sits inside an established short film series, giving cast members a finished product with context beyond a one-off student project. The production is posted as of January 2025, making this a current, active casting call.
