Every Face An Icon - Open Casting: 114 Real People for a National Sports Film

WHO CAN APPLY - everyone who moves. That is not a slogan, it is the casting spec.

Every level: week-one beginners through national athletes. Level is not a filter, and not an advantage either.

Every body: no body type is being screened for. No weight, height, waistline or visible abs. Big, small, soft, scarred, post-partum, ageing.

Every ability: wheelchair and prosthetic athletes, blind and low-vision runners, Deaf players, athletes with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities.

Cast as athletes and as people, never as an inspiration story. Access needs at look tests and on set are arranged and paid for by production.

Every age: 8 to 80+. Masters athletes over 60 are the hardest roles to fill and the most wanted.

Under-18s apply with a parent or guardian, who must be present at any look test and on set.

Every sport: weightlifting, running, boxing, wrestling, kabaddi, mallakhamb, kalaripayattu, cycling, swimming, football, volleyball, cricket, badminton, climbing, calisthenics, yoga, ballet, Bharatanatyam, Zumba, skateboarding - or walking, or dancing in your kitchen.Languages: most roles are non-dialogue. Language is for direction and comfort on set, not a filter.

WHAT YOUR SPORTS PROFILE NEEDS:

One clear photo of your face - daylight, no filter, no pose, no sunglasses.

The single most important item.One full-length photo, standing straight, in normal training clothes.

Not a physique shot.Two or three photos of you actually doing your sport. Blurry is fine, sweaty is better.

Fifteen to thirty seconds of video of you moving, with your face in the shot.

One sentence on what moving does for you.

Ten words is plenty.Name, age, city, height, phone number, and Instagram

if you have one.Your sport, your level, and how long you have been at it.

Your chapter: just started, still going, or never stopped.

Any access needs, and any dates in the shoot window you cannot do.

No agency, no portfolio and no acting experience required. Shot on a phone is perfect - we are not judging your camera, your kit, your gym or your body.
