Mediterranean, Latin, Chinese, African-American and Indian (Pan-Asian), as well as a good age and gender spread (20-55).

Shoot: 7th to 9th of June VENICE Italy

Seeking:

HEAD CHEF: (Hero) (Male) HEAD-CHEF (HERO): WE ARE PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN SEEING A LARGER PROPORTION OF: CHINESE. Charismatic and characteristic man (40-55). Has a bit of strict,
authoritarian facial expression when he first enters the kitchen, but then cracks into a warm, playful smile when he interacts with his sous chefs. Important: Good, subtle facial expressions (switch from serious to playful)

3 SOUS CHEFS:  (Featured Extras) (Male or female) 3 SOUS CHEFS (FEATURED EXTRAS): WE ARE PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN SEEING A LARGER PROPORTION OF : ASIAN,  AFRICAN / MEDITERRANEAN / CAUCASIAN. Male & female (20-35). Could be a diverse group (for example: 2 younger/1  slightly older, 2 male/1 female). All of the actors should be handy with a  kitchen knife so their work looks convincing. Just like the head chef they  should be able to switch facial expressions from concentrated  professionalism to a moment of fun, spontaneous banter.

HEAD WAITER:  (Hero) (Male) WE ARE PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN SEEING A LARGER PROPORTION OF:  MEDITERRANEAN / CAUCASIAN / PAN-ASIAN Distinguished looking male (30 – 40) Confident and experienced. Must be able  to carry a tray with fluidity, poise and grace!

DOORMAN: (Hero) (Male) WE ARE PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN SEEING A LARGER PROPORTION OF: CAUCASIAN  OR MEDITERRANEAN / LATIN. Male (30 – 50) This is our lead character: Someone who perfectly embodies  the playful and positive attitude of the “Treatment”. A memorable,  charismatic face, animated performance, subtle comedic timing and a warm,  authentic smile are paramount! Also should be a “kid’s person” who effortlessly interacts with children. Something about this character has a  “magical” feel – the swagger in his step, the way he lets the paper dinosaur  appear behind the girl’s ear (Think: A young Roberto Benigni). He should  leave the audience thinking: who is this guy? And where can I meet him?

CONCIERGE: Concierge (Hero or Featured Extra) (Female) WE ARE PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN SEEING A LARGER PROPORTION OF: PAN-ASIAN  OR MIDDLE-EASTERN. Distinguished lady (30 -50).

2 MAIDS:  (Female) WE ARE PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN SEEING A LARGER PROPORTION OF:  MEDITERRANEAN, CAUCASIAN, PAN-ASIAN (OR MIX). Looking for two warm, friendly women .One might be younger (25-35), the  other slightly older (35-45).
