Seaglass Siren

Vancouver Actors Guide is casting the role of Seaglass Siren, a short film production based in Vancouver, BC. This is an on-camera acting role requiring emotional range, physical comfort on set, and the ability to build genuine chemistry with a scene partner. The role suits emerging or early-career actors looking to add a completed short film credit and demo reel footage to their portfolio.

About the Role

Seaglass Siren is a short film narrative production with two central characters whose relationship anchors the story. The Vancouver Actors Guide is seeking talent for both leads, and the casting process is looking closely at how the two performers read together, not just individually. A typical shoot day will include intimate scenes, beachwear or swimwear on camera, and at least one kissing scene, so comfort with all of the above is a firm requirement before submitting.

Key Responsibilities

• Portray Leo, a character navigating the emotional weight of losing a romantic partner, with the ability to carry that grief convincingly across scenes.
• Perform in bathing suit wardrobe on camera for scenes central to the short film’s setting and tone.
• Execute kissing scenes with a scene partner in a professional on-set environment.
• Submit a self-tape by July 5th at 11:59pm, including a headshot, resume, and demo reel if available.
• Indicate in your submission which character you are putting yourself forward for.
• Commit to the full short film production schedule as a volunteer cast member on a non-paid student or independent film project.

What You Bring

• On-camera acting experience at any level, with a headshot and resume ready to submit.
• A demo reel is an asset but not required for consideration.
• Comfort performing physically intimate scenes, including kissing, within a professional short film production context.
• Ability to take direction and build real chemistry with another actor across multiple scenes.
• Availability to complete the shoot as scheduled and receive a copy of the finished film for demo reel use.
