  • Audition for a BMW commercial in Houston

    I got permission from the casting guy to post this, but don't forward this outside of here - this sounds like it has McClure written all over it:


    [This is a Southwest Casting exclusive. Please do not post this
    casting notice to any other website or email group without our
    permission. Thank you.]

    Please read this entire notice before submitting.

    Southwest Casting is helping Synthetic Pictures cast a SPEC
    commercial for BMW.

    A spec commercial is a speculative spot produced hoping the company
    advertised in the commercial will buy the commercial or concept.

    There is pay. $50 for the shoot day. If the spot is purchased and
    makes a profit, each actor will receive an additional $1000. Talent
    will be required to sign a release.

    I am told by the producer that SAG members may submit to this, and if
    they are cast and the spot is picked up, SAG members will be paid SAG
    scale. You should independently verify this, though.

    This will require an audition. The audition date and location has
    not been determined yet, but will be soon.

    This shoots Friday, February 23, 2007, in Houston.

    Here is who we are looking for:

    2 males between late 20s and late 30s
    good looking, but not model looking
    hip, smart, and part of the creative class
    they would be tech execs. in silicon valley, but not nerds
    (maybe Luke Wilson types)

    More description of these two characters from the producers:
    "Both men in this spot would be in their mid 30's. They would look
    like the hip Silicone Valley type, young, successful and living
    exciting active lives. By their stylish clothes, modern house and
    taste in vehicles we see they enjoy the finer things. We get the
    feeling that they are the X generation's version of Bill Gates and
    Steve Jobs."

    The creative was based on the movie PRIMER.
