OVERALL NOTE ABOUT THE FAMILY: They are not too privileged. They are
slightly aspirational but they certainly have to work of a living. Nobody
should be too “commercially pretty or handsome.” We’re interested in finding
real and believable faces that are expressive, and that the viewer will
connect to. We’re really going for the strongest performances possible.
OVERALL NOTE ABOUT THE CAST: This spot is for both the general and U.S.
Hispanic Market. We will probably book a cast that lives somewhere in the
middle.
Casting: 21st / 22nd June – Tiredness Casting sessions 26th / 27th June – No
Worries Callbacks London 30th – Tiredness / 1st July No Worries
Shoot: TRAVEL: “TIRELESS” ( MAN, MOM, DAD, DAUGHTER) would travel on either
the evening of the 17th July or early in the morning of the 18th. They’d
have a fitting on the 18th and shoot on the 20th. We may do fitting on the
19th, which is our pre-light day. TBC The MAN would then travel back to
London on the 21st. He would be needed in Lisbon on or about the 23rd,
where he will have one or two days of shooting. At this time I can not
confirm exactly which consecutive days doing the week of the 23rd that he
will be working. SPOUSE / PARTNER would also need to be in Lisbon on or
about the 23rd, but they will only work ONE day. “NO WORRIES” This cast
will need to be in Lisbon on or about the 23rd. The director would like to
consider having a four hour rehearsal with the cast on either the 23rd or
24rd. At this time I do not know exactly which. DAD – 2 shooting days
MOM – 1 or 2 shooting days BLAKE – 1 or 2 shooting days Daughter – 1
shooting day Teacher – 1 shooting day Production location Lisbon,

DAD: Late 30’s – 40’s. There is a vulnerability in him, the kind of guy who
can look gentle and strong at the same time. His face should be able to
light up subtly when he’s told that the doctor has a‘plan’. He has the KEY
performance in the spot. MUST BE ABLE TO DO AN AMERICAN ACCENT Playing age
