A local filmmaker has got in touch with Brixton Buzz asking for help in finding people to appear in a short ‘mockumentary’ about gentrification, which will be filming on Saturday, 11th July 2026.
Please note that this is an unpaid role, although they say lunch will be provided. Scroll down to find out more:
ACTORS WANTED to film alongside Demmy Lapido (The Kitchen – Netflix, Dreaming Whilst Black – BBC) Dario Coates (You – Netflix) and Natalie Dunne (Trying – Apple TV) in a new mockumentary COMEDY short called SMASHED AVOCADO. Written by Sophie McKay and Endy McKay. Produced by The McKay Sisters, Femi Oyeniran and Natalie Duval. Directed by Sophie and Endy.
This is an UNPAID opportunity (unfortunately we have a micro budget at this stage) but we will provide lunch and a fun few hours! Must be over 18 years.
We are looking for both featured and supporting artists to make up a Pentecostal church congregation.
We are particularly looking for actors with African or Caribbean heritage – ideally over the age of 40. Experience of pentecostal church a plus.
Some roles will include dialogue so this would suit people looking for screen experience, potential showreel material and the prospect of being involved in a new comedy screen project in its early stages that tackles hyper gentrification.
Please send us an email at: SMASHEDAVOCADOCASTING@GMAIL.COM with A HEADSHOT/SELFIE AND IF SUITABLE WE WILL CONFIRM WITH YOU THE EXACT FILMING LOCATION!
FILMING THIS SATURDAY 11th JULY 2026 IN BRIXTON 11AM-4PM. Artists must be free for the whole duration. Submission DEADLINE Thursday at 5pm but there is a limited amount of parts so get in quick and hopefully see you on set!
