By | November 20, 2025

A new feature film shooting in Austin is gearing up, and the production team is seeking Austin, Texas area locals to work on set.

The project is seeking non-union men and women who fit specific height and appearance requirements. Those specs may be seen below.

The film will shoot in Austin, Texas from November 21 through December 17, and selected stand-ins will be booked at a rate of $175 per day for up to 12 hours.

Stand-ins play a crucial behind-the-scenes role, helping the crew set lighting, framing, and scene preparation before actors step in.
