For this new GVB short, we're looking for an actress who can create a warm and believable moment through subtle, nonverbal acting. The scene revolves around a small but meaningful moment: a young woman runs after the bus, catches it just in time, and sees an older woman carrying a heavy shopping bag trying to get on. The older woman manages well, but an extra hand is welcome. The young woman spontaneously decides to help. This gesture gets her thinking and forms the core of the campaign message: "Put your New Year's resolutions into action. Get on board with GVB."

We filmed at a bus stop next to the Maritime Museum, during rush hour in the dark. The surroundings are vibrant, the light more urban and cinematic. The older woman's performance is entirely nonverbal: a natural gaze, a slight physical effort due to the heavy bag, and a subtle reaction to the younger woman's help. No text, no overt emotion, just realistic nuance.

We're shooting with a small, efficient crew: cameraman, director, and lighting technician. The client is present on set. Shooting starts around 6:30 PM and we expect to wrap up around 10:30 PM. It's a compact shoot where your performance takes center stage.

The short will be advertised for two months in early 2026. The campaign may be resumed for another two months in early 2027.

This description will be shared with the cast as part of the briefing for this production.
