GENERAL DETAILS
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to our casting call! Please read all instructions carefully.
We’re Banter 👋, a creative production company that’s been around since 2016 specializing in commercials and branded video for social and digital. We make creative content worth talking about. 🎥
This project is a PSA highlighting the City of Palm Desert and their U.S. DOT planning grant, Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A). This grant will be used to advance Palm Desert’s vision of a safe and well-connected transportation system that prioritizes safety, health, and access for the community’s most vulnerable road users, including school-aged children and seniors.
The concept for this video is a one day shoot on Wednesday, January 29th with a hidden-camera-flash-mob-style activation where performers in black-tie formal wear will surprise and delight pedestrians (both real pedestrians and actors posing as pedestrians) by treating them like VIPs (Very Important Pedestrians) with a mix of fun and humor.
We’re looking for people of all ages, genders, and ethnicities but some of the roles have more specific needs than others. Please read the role descriptions carefully before submitting.
