Brothers Of Metal

Vancouver Actors Guide is seeking background performers for Brothers Of Metal, a film production shooting in Vancouver, BC. This is an extras role placing performers as Music Store Customers within the production’s background casting department, contributing directly to the visual texture of the scene. It suits performers at any experience level who have full availability for a short, defined shoot window and want credited set experience on a narrative film production.

About the Role

Brothers Of Metal is a film production casting background performers to populate a music store environment, a setting that requires performers who can hold natural, believable behaviour on camera without direction for every moment. Background work on a production like this sits within the art of building a lived-in world, and your presence on set directly supports the principal cast’s performance. A typical day on set involves holding your position, taking blocking direction from the AD team, and maintaining continuity across multiple takes.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform as a Music Store Customer within the background of scripted scenes across the shoot dates of October 3 and 4.
• Take direction from the assistant director on set placement, movement, and continuity requirements between takes.
• Maintain consistent wardrobe, positioning, and action across multiple setups to support the editorial workflow in post-production.
• Arrive on time and remain available for the full shoot day, as background schedules shift with production priorities throughout filming.
• Follow all on-set protocols as directed by the production team, including holding for sound and camera.

What You Bring

• Open to any age and any gender, no prior film production background experience required.
• Full availability on both October 3 and 4 is a firm requirement, not negotiable around partial days.
• Comfort on a working film set, including the ability to take direction quickly and repeat actions precisely.
• A current resume and headshots ready to submit ahead of the September 17 deadline.

Why This Role
