Job Position(s): Casting for extras in short film “Werehouse”

Film in Colorado is casting extras for the short film production “Werehouse,” shooting on location in Colorado this May. Extras work within the talent department to populate scenes and support the visual world the directors are building, appearing on camera as background performers under the co-directors’ supervision. This role suits performers of any experience level, from first-timers to seasoned background actors who enjoy working on independent short film sets.

About the Role

Film in Colorado is bringing on 15 to 20 extras across a range of ages, from children to adults, for the “Werehouse” short film shoot. Background performers on this production will work across three scheduled shoot days in May, fitting into scenes as directed by the co-directing team. A typical day involves arriving on set, taking direction from the AD or co-directors, and holding background action during takes in a structured independent film production environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Report to set on the scheduled shoot dates of May 21st, May 27th, and May 28th, ready to perform background action as directed.
• Take direction from the co-directors and assistant director to maintain consistent blocking and behavior between takes.
• Stay present and attentive during the short film production process, including setup time and resets between shots.
• Represent a range of age demographics on screen, contributing to the scene population the production requires across multiple setups.
• Follow all on-set protocols appropriate to a professional independent film environment, including costume and continuity guidelines.

What You Bring

• No prior background acting experience is required, though familiarity with short film or student film sets is a plus.
• Availability for at least one or more of the three scheduled May shoot dates.
• Comfort working in a non-union, independent film production setting alongside a small crew.
• Applicants of all ages are welcome, including minors accompanied by a guardian as appropriate.

Why This Role

Film in Colorado is producing “Werehouse” as a professional short film with a structured crew and a defined shooting schedule, giving background performers real on-set experience in a Colorado-based production. This is a non-paying role, but the environment is organized and crew-led, which makes it a practical entry point for anyone looking to build comfort on a working film set. Three shoot days across one week means the time commitment is contained and manageable.
