Casting calls in Minneapolis list new feature films, documentaries, and short productions seeking local talent

Multiple projects list Minneapolis-area casting needs across film, documentary, and short-form productions

A new roundup of casting notices circulating in early March 2026 indicates several productions are seeking actors and participants in Minneapolis, spanning feature films, short films and a documentary. The postings outline a mix of lead, supporting, and background opportunities, with role requirements defined primarily by age range and character descriptions.

The projects presented as casting in Minneapolis include a feature film titled “Where Scriptures Breathe,” which lists three roles: Gabriela (female, 30–45) as a day player, Violet (female, 14–17) as a supporting role, and Victor (male, 35–50) as a day player. Another feature film, “Mechanoid Genesis,” lists a lead role (Logan, male, 25–40), a supporting role (Naomi, female, 27–45), and a speaking-role extra (18+). A separate listing, “Blue Afternoon,” is a short film seeking two child leads: Alan (male, 5–9) and Mithra (female, 5–9).

Two additional Minneapolis-based short films are also included. “The Bench” lists a lead role (Daniel Cross, male, 25–35) alongside supporting roles for Maya Rodriguez (female, 25–35) and Sarah Chen (female, 30–50). “Where You Were” lists two leads—Siab (female, 18+) and Seng (male, 18+)—and a supporting role, Keng (male, 18+).

Pay ranges vary by project type and role category

Compensation details differ across the postings. The documentary listing, “The Greener Side Of Life,” seeks “real people” ages 18–75 and notes roles paying up to $200. “Mechanoid Genesis” lists roles paying up to $600, while “Blue Afternoon” lists roles paying up to $100. Other postings provide role descriptions but do not consistently state pay for every role.

The postings describe opportunities ranging from child leads and day-player roles to documentary participation by non-actors.

Nationwide castings appear alongside Minneapolis calls

In addition to roles based in Minneapolis, the same roundup includes several nationwide casting notices. These include a scripted promotional project labeled “NASCAR x Coronado Promo,” which lists supporting roles for three pilots and notes pay up to $6,000. A separate feature-film listing, “Painted with L.O.V.E.,” lists lead and supporting roles with compensation stated up to $10,000.

Because casting notices can change quickly—roles may be filled, revised, or extended—actors and prospective participants typically confirm eligibility requirements, compensation terms, union status (if any), and production timelines directly through the formal casting materials associated with each project.
