Casting Call

Messy Collective is seeking up to 12 members of the LGBTQI+ community to appear in a series of informative videos about online safety. We’re looking for a diverse representation from the LGBTQI+ community across ethnicities, abilities, age, gender identities and sexual orientation.

Must be comfortable in front of a camera. Acting experience preferred but not essential.

You must also be reliable, collaborative, easy-going, and comfortable in a group setting.

If this sounds like you, please email production@nullmessy.com.au, providing:

• Name and any info on acting experience
• Short selfie clip introducing yourself (max. 1 minute, using your phone is fine).
• Demo reel (if you have one)
• “A couple of sentences on why you want to be involved in this project promoting online safety within the LGBTQI+ community?”

Successful applicants will need to be available for 1 to 2 days in mid-July. Filming will take place in Sydney.
