Casting Real Family of 3 for Commercial

Job Position(s): Casting Real Family of 3 for Commercial

Vicky Boone Casting is seeking a real family of three for a commercial shoot in Austin, TX on behalf of Cortland Apartment Homes. This is a non-union on-camera commercial production, with the family performing as a cohesive household unit across a multi-day shoot. The role suits real families comfortable in front of a camera for branded commercial content, with no acting experience required.

About the Role

This casting call for a real family of three sits within the talent acquisition phase of a non-union commercial production, moving through self-tape auditions, a virtual callback, a fitting day, and a two-day shoot. Vicky Boone Casting, with casting directors Vicky Boone and Chantel Italia leading the project, is sourcing authentic family talent rather than trained performers to achieve a naturalistic look for the Cortland Apartment Homes campaign. The production follows a structured commercial workflow, with dates locked across late April and early May.

Key Responsibilities

• Appear on camera as a family unit across a two-day commercial shoot scheduled for May 7 and May 8.
• Submit a self-tape audition package by April 10 as the first stage of the casting process.
• Participate in a virtual callback on April 20 if selected to advance past the initial submission review.
• Attend a wardrobe fitting on May 5 in preparation for principal photography.
• Perform non-speaking on-camera work throughout the commercial production days.
• Work comfortably alongside dogs on set, as the production involves animals.

What You Bring

• A real parent-and-child family unit: a mom and dad aged 30 to 45 with a child aged 6 to 11.
• Open to all ethnicities, with a preference toward a mixed-presenting family aesthetic.
• Availability confirmed for all production dates: April 20, May 5, May 7, and May 8.
• Ability to work as a local hire in Austin, TX, with no travel or relocation support provided.
• Comfort around dogs on a working commercial set.

Why This Role

Austin Film Meet is connecting local talent directly to a fully scheduled non-union commercial production with a clear timeline from audition through principal photography. Compensation is $1,000 (session fee) for the family total and $500 (fitting fee) for the family total, paid per family rather than per individual. Vicky Boone Casting has a documented track record placing real families in branded commercial content, making this a credible entry point into commercial production work.
