Upcoming openCASTING CALLS
“The Older CouplE”
DEADLINE May 22, 2026
CALLBACKS Week of May 29
Shoot Dates: Late June – Mid July | Compensation Provided | Local Talent Preferred
THE ROLE
We’re casting one male and one female talent to play a couple in this role. You do not need to audition with a real-life partner. Individual submissions are encouraged, and selected talent will be paired for callbacks as needed. Real couples are welcome to submit, but it is not a requirement.
Direction: Imagine the couple at the restaurant who’s been everywhere, done everything, and is still the most fun people in the room. Confident, charismatic, and secretly outrunning people half their age. No acting résumé required.
QUALIFICATIONS
Male and female talent, ages 50-65.
Big personality and magnetic energy. The kind that lights up a room.
Comfortable being expressive and physical (light activity: biking, walking, social scenes).
Someone who makes people say “I want to be them when I grow up.”
Acting experience is a bonus, but authenticity is everything.
THE PROJECT
A tourism commercial with a simple premise: Grand Rapids isn’t what you expect, and neither are the people who love it. The spot features two couples whose weekends look nothing like what you’d guess from the outside. It’s a feel-good story about a city that surprises you.
HOW TO SUBMIT
Record a short video (1–2 minutes) on your phone. No fancy setup, just be yourself. Include:
Your name, age, where you live, and a little about yourself
One thing you genuinely love about Grand Rapids
That’s it. No script, no prep, no pressure. Just show us who you are.
