A Jar Full Of Christmas
Filming in Lake Placid and the surrounding areas from December 4 – 21, 2023, you’ll have a chance to embrace the silent spotlight! These roles are non-speaking, yet they offer a unique opportunity to be a part of something special. If you have your sights set on a speaking role, check out the cast call on ActorsAccess.com and submit your application there. Gemelli Films is exclusively considering submissions from that platform.
While these roles are unpaid, your contribution will be acknowledged with credit on IMDb and a mention at the end of the film. They’ve been overwhelmed with interest in this project and want to extend the chance for as many people as possible to join in. However, due to budget constraints, they can’t accommodate everyone in person.
Any of these ones catch your eye? Let us know! You may be on our screens soon!
