Casting Call Details

Student Film

'The Kiss' is a steady-cam single-shot film that follows the inner-workings of a marriage proposal: We follow the literal transfer of a lipstick mark from our heroine to our hero, and then among friends and family members as the kiss travels throughout the restaurant and magically finds its way back to the young woman as she becomes a bride-to-be.

Be featured as a background actor in a DePaul/Columbia short film called 'The Kiss,' one of the first ever DePaul undergraduate films to be shot on 16mm film! This elaborate one-shot is sure to create buzz around the city and within the film festival circuit.

SHOOTING DATE: Nov. 8th; 5:30pm-2am.
LOCATION: Landmark Grill: 1633 N. Halsted

We are looking to cast background actors in the following roles:

Cooks: Varying ages and ethnicities. All mid 20s and up.
Waiters & Waitresses: Varying ages and ethnicities. All mid 20s and up.
Bus Boys: Mid teens – early 20s. Varying ethnicities.
Bartender: Same criteria as above. (Can also be female.)
Guests: Varying ages and ethnicities.

Come be a part of this ambitious project. Please email us if interested. Include your name, email, stats (gender, age, ethnicity), phone number, and role interested in. We will be able to supply most uniforms for "Cooks" but if you happen to own your own Chef outfit (and interested in that role), let us know that as well. We look forward to hearing from and working with you!

While this is not a paid gig all background actors will receive free food on set!
