Commercial film production companies have officially opened casting calls for an upcoming feature project slated to begin principal photography in mid-October. According to casting notices distributed to industry professionals, producers are seeking male actors aged 30 to 40 who possess authentic regional dialects or distinct physical characteristics to fill six specific supporting roles.
Casting Requirements and Character Breakdown
The open roles require specific regional fluency and physical traits to match the character descriptions outlined by the production team. According to the casting brief, applicants must apply for one of six designated parts:
- Role 1: A man in his 40s who is a native speaker of the Gyeongsang dialect.
- Role 2: A man in his 30s who is a native speaker of the Chungcheong dialect.
- Role 3: A man in his 30s who is a native speaker of the Jeolla dialect.
- Role 4: An actor with a large, heavy-set physical build.
- Role 5: An actor with a heavy, overgrown beard.
- Role 6: An actor with long hair.
For roles requiring regional dialects, casting directors explicitly requested submissions only from actors who originated from those specific provinces. Applicants must state their hometown and total duration of residency in the body of the email to prove native fluency.
Application Guidelines and Audition Schedule
Auditions are scheduled to take place on Wednesday, September 23, near Sangam-dong, according to production documents. Actual filming locations will take place within Seoul or Gangwon Province, while appearance fees will be determined through direct negotiation between the production and selected talent.
Applicants must submit their materials via email following a strict naming convention. Submissions must include:
- An updated actor profile.
- Showreels or performance acting video clips.
- Current photographs.
Producers mandate that email subject lines and file attachments follow a precise format indicating the desired role number, regional dialect status, birth year, gender, full name, and height (for example: “1번 경상도 / 생년／성별／성함／키”). Production organizers noted that further details regarding the undisclosed film project will be provided via phone to shortlisted candidates who successfully follow the submission protocols.
