The Missing Hours

Vancouver Actors Guide is seeking a volunteer for The Missing Hours, based in Vancouver, BC. This role sits within the acting and talent community space, supporting the curation and distribution of resources, listings, and production information that Vancouver-based performers rely on week to week. It suits someone already embedded in the local film and television ecosystem who wants to contribute directly to a resource that has served the Vancouver acting community for years.

About the Role

The Missing Hours is a project connected to Vancouver Actors Guide, one of the city’s longstanding free resources for actors navigating the local production landscape. The volunteer in this role works across content and outreach functions, helping maintain the weekly newsletter and supporting the broader acting community with timely, accurate information. A typical week involves reviewing submissions, updating listings, and keeping production-relevant content current for a readership that includes working actors and emerging talent.

Key Responsibilities

• Review and process incoming actor submissions, including resumes and reels, to ensure they meet the standards of the Vancouver acting community resource.
• Support the editorial workflow of the weekly newsletter with accurate, production-relevant content for Vancouver-based performers.
• Maintain and update talent-facing listings to reflect current casting and film production activity in the region.
• Coordinate with the production heads network to keep community information aligned with active episodic television and film projects in Vancouver.
• Screen submitted materials for completeness, flagging profiles that are missing key contact or credits information before they are distributed.
• Help manage inbound communications from actors seeking to connect with the resource for the first time.

What You Bring

• Working knowledge of the Vancouver film and television production landscape, including how local casting and actor resources function.
• Prior experience as a performer, production assistant, or casting office volunteer is an asset.
• Comfort reviewing actor reels and resumes with an informed eye for what casting and production teams actually look for.
• Reliable communication habits and the ability to turn around correspondence without long delays.
• This is a volunteer position, so availability and commitment to the local acting community matters more than a formal credit list.

Why This Role

Vancouver Actors Guide has operated as a free community resource for years, which means the work here directly supports working actors who depend on it, not a corporate pipeline. The Missing Hours gives a volunteer real visibility into how the Vancouver acting community organizes itself around film and television production. For someone building connections in the local industry, the access and goodwill that comes with this role is practical and concrete.
