Project: Suit

Vancouver Actors Guide is hiring background performers for Project: Suit, shooting on location in Vancouver, BC across two days in July 2026. This is a non-union background role placing talent in contemporary and business-casual wardrobe for a commercial video production handled through Pushr Video. The role suits performers at any experience level who are self-sufficient on set and can arrive camera-ready without hand-holding from a wardrobe department.

About the Role

Project: Suit is a short-form commercial production shooting in Burnaby and Downtown Vancouver, with each shoot day running between three and six hours. Background performers on this kind of commercial video production work directly within the on-set flow, hitting marks, maintaining continuity in wardrobe, and filling the visual world the director is building. Crafty will be provided on set, and call times along with exact location details are confirmed closer to the shoot date.

Key Responsibilities

• Report independently to set on your confirmed shoot date, either July 2 in the Brentwood area of Burnaby or July 3 in Downtown Vancouver.
• Arrive camera-ready with wardrobe options that meet the clean, contemporary everyday and business-casual direction provided upon booking.
• Take direction from the on-set production team and hold your position within the background of the commercial frame.
• Maintain consistent wardrobe and appearance across multiple takes to support continuity throughout the shoot day.
• Self-manage call time and location logistics, as exact details are distributed closer to the production dates.
• Provide a brief introduction and recent headshot or selfie as part of the initial submission to casting.

What You Bring

• No previous on-set experience is required, making this a solid entry point into commercial video production for new performers.
• Non-union status, as this production is not a union shoot.
• Your own wardrobe in clean, contemporary everyday and business-casual styles, ready to present multiple options.
• The ability to self-report to set, manage your own transportation, and arrive prepared without production assistance.
