Job Position(s): Richmond – Casting call for concept trailer – November 2026 – Paid

The Virginia Film Office is holding a Richmond casting call for a concept trailer shooting in November 2026, with this opportunity posted through Virginia Film Office Casting. Talent selected will appear on camera in a short-form concept trailer, the kind of project used to pitch a larger production to studios, networks, or financiers. This role suits performers who are comfortable working within a compressed shoot schedule and understand that concept trailer work feeds directly into the development pipeline of feature film production or episodic television.

About the Role

This casting call sits at the front end of the development process, where the footage captured will be cut into a proof-of-concept reel rather than a finished broadcast product. Talent should expect a focused, efficient shoot environment typical of trailer and sizzle reel production, where performances need to read clearly and quickly for an audience of decision-makers, not general viewers. The project is based in Virginia, reflecting the continued growth of the state’s film and television production community.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform assigned roles on camera for a concept trailer production scheduled for November 2026 in Richmond, Virginia.
• Attend any required fittings, table reads, or pre-production sessions as scheduled by the production team.
• Take direction from the director and follow adjustments to performance, blocking, or pacing across multiple takes.
• Maintain continuity of character and performance across setups within a short-form production workflow.
• Represent the visual and tonal intent of the project as defined in the creative brief provided at casting.
• Be available for the full duration of the scheduled shoot days as confirmed upon booking.

What You Bring

• Prior on-camera experience in film, television, commercial, or short-form production is preferred.
• Ability to deliver consistent, directable performances under the time constraints of a concept trailer shoot.
• Familiarity with set etiquette and standard production protocols during a live shoot day.
• Availability in Richmond, Virginia during the November 2026 production window.

Why This Role

The Virginia Film Office is a state-supported body with direct ties to the broader Virginia production industry, and postings through Virginia Film Office Casting are verified paid positions. This Richmond casting call for a concept trailer offers performers the chance to contribute to a project at the development stage, with the potential for that work to reach network or studio audiences if the larger production moves forward.
