What they are looking for
Era Cinema is making "No One's Favorite," a SAG-AFTRA micro-budget film directed by Daniel Pattison and produced by Ruby Garcia. It follows a lonely video store clerk who, after his filmmaker father dies, sets out to reclaim the piano he was never allowed to touch. The open roles are all under-fives for men and women in their 20s, 40s and 50s: fans of the father's films, customers at a yard sale and at the video store, a couple and a female voiceover. Filming takes place in Albuquerque on weekends in December and January. It is unpaid up front: pay is deferred, plus points. Casting is off reel and headshot. Apply through the original listing.
Castina's tip
Since they cast off reel and headshot, send a short reel, about a minute, with natural, everyday scenes that feel closer to indie film than to commercials. In your email, name the role you want: Shane, Todd and Neil are fans and customers in their 40s and 50s, and Melissa is voice only. Check your weekends, because the shoot days fall on Saturdays and Sundays in December and January. Ask how the deferred pay works before you sign.
How to apply to this casting call
- Check that you fit. The call asks for ages 50 to 59, and it is based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the United States.
- Get your materials ready: current headshots, your acting resume and a self-tape or your reel if you have one.
- Apply through the original listing from Era Cinema: the button at the end of this page takes you there. You have until December 4, 2026.
- If they call you back, there may be a second round: the callback. It is unpaid: ask what they cover (travel, meals) and whether you get the footage for your reel.
