On May 15th, we will be creating the trailer for this year’s Los Angeles Film Festival, shooting interviews with people from all over Los Angeles about their passion for movies.

What moves you? What’s your favorite movie, scene, actor or director? Your earliest memory of going to the theatre? Your favorite action scene? Love blockbusters, documentaries, obscure French cinema? Comedy, horror, drama? Whatever your passion, we want to hear from you.

We’re not looking for actors. This is not a performance. We want you to be yourself. Tell us off the cuff and from the heart what you love, what you hate, what makes you laugh, what makes you scared, what makes you cry. Our mission is to express the diversity of people, opinions and films in Los Angeles while unifying them all under one common emotion: The passion for movies.

Dozens of these interviews will be cut together into a series of trailers that will screen before the films at the festival.

We are looking for volunteers, there is no pay but it is a great opportunity.

To sign up, email our casting director with the information below. If you’re selected, we’ll contact you with all the specifics.
