Posted by on 07 Oct 2022

Project: Paid Non-union commercial

Pay: $400/shoot day + $5200/buyout per person if usable

Auditions: Deadline October 9th, callbacks by October 15th

Filming Location: Bridgeport CA

Dates: Travel 10/27, Film 10/28, Travel 10/29

Talent: Real hispanic family with experience riding horses. Ideally two grandparents, two parents & 1 grandchild but open to mixed family options.

We are looking for 2 grandparents (60s), 2 parents (40s) and a child (tween or teen). We are happy to get self taped auditions from anyone falling into those categories. And I’ll consider anyone outside of those categories, just in case clients like it.
Wardrobe: Casual, what you would wear for riding
FILMING:
Please be sure that you are well lit & we can clearly see your face. You should be lit from the front; please make sure you do not have any windows / light coming from behind you. Frame should be on LANDSCAPE (horizontal) NOT Vertical! No profiles.
SLATE:
Please set your camera up as a waist-and-up shot and answer the below questions.
Name(s), age(s) if under 18, current location
Are you vaccinated against Covid? (For this job vaccinations are mandatory, being boosted is not.)
For this project/role, you must have experience riding a horse. Please tell us about your experience.
ACTION:
This scene is a family of equestrians going for a ride- going to a stable, saddling up, riding out, coming back and grooming a horse after. FYI- This job films 5 hours north of LA. You will be riding a horse all day: off-trail, through streams and forests and into the evening. You won’t be riding a trail horse.
THEREFORE…we need to see you riding a horse. We need to be sure it is you in the video. We want to be safe and need to be 100% sure you can handle and ride a horse. Here are some things we want to see in your audition (approx 30 seconds of each):
1- Saddling a horse
2- Getting on a horse
3- Riding a horse- walk, trot, canter (no need to gallop)
4- Getting back from a ride and grooming a horse.
If you can get us at least 30 seconds of each where it is recognizably you, that would be great. More than 30 seconds is fine. Please do not do this as a selfie/holding the camera on your own. Please have someone film you. And please have them ride beside you as they film you riding. BONUS: Feel free to interact with the person holding the camera or others if you are in a duo/trio- whatever you would naturally chat about on a ride.
Again, because we want to be safe, please be certain that we can recognize you in these auditions.
And again, film everything SIDEWAYS!
There are no lines for this. Our director is all about authenticity and naturalism. So you can talk, discuss, joke as you normally would when going for a ride with a group of people.
We would love to receive this by noon October 9th.
