For a Danish commercial for an alcohol brand we are looking for two charming men aged approx. 23–29. Filming takes place in Copenhagen at the end of August (1 shooting day). We are looking for two guys with natural presence, charm and good energy who can play two close friends with great chemistry. You should be able to deliver a relaxed and authentic relationship with lots of humour, affectionate teasing and natural back-and-forth. It’s a big plus if you are already friends in real life, as that often creates a special chemistry on camera. You are very welcome to apply together, but it is not a requirement. Acting experience is an advantage but not required. The most important thing is that you feel natural in front of the camera and want to be part of a fun production.

Self-tape – SCRIPT
INT. WHISKY TASTING
We see two friends in their mid-20s, Oskar and Simon. They are at a whisky tasting sitting across from a whisky expert. There are glasses and whisky bottles on the table.
Characters: Oskar is more extroverted, charming and always in a good mood and up for fun; he is the one who always gets Simon on board. Simon is a bit shyer and more understated but enjoys his friend’s company and the jokes.
They are not used to drinking whisky, but Oskar has decided it’s time they matured as whisky drinkers.
OSKAR
(nods sideways at Simon)
"Yeah, Simon mostly drinks milk." (They laugh.)
SIMON
(laughs and looks a bit embarrassed with a crooked smile)
"No, I also like a White Russian."
OSKAR
"Yeah, there’s milk in that, bro." (He laughs.)
SIMON
(laughs along)
OSKAR
"No, we’re ready… We should get refined as men." Oskar puts both hands on the table and looks at the glass and then at Simon. He smiles teasingly and says: "Simon definitely should."
THE EXPERT
We see the expert amused by the friends. He pours whisky into the glasses. (He gestures to the whisky) "I think you should try tasting."
The friends take the glasses. We see them swirl the whisky and smell it. They sip and taste. They look at each other, nodding and acknowledging.
OSKAR
"Okay... right?"
SIMON
(acknowledging) "Mm." Simon looks down into his glass and tastes again.
OSKAR
(looks up at the expert from his glass) "It’s actually surprisingly nice."
EXPERT
"Yes, that’s the point — it’s meant to taste good. Try to notice which notes you can pick up."
The two friends taste again.
SIMON
"Umm... caramel?"
EXPERT
"Yes."
SIMON
"Maybe some fruit?"
EXPERT
"Yes! Exactly!"
SIMON
"There’s vanilla, I think... and smoke?… But it’s not ummm..." He is interrupted by Oskar, who looks impressed and exclaims.
OSKAR
"Okay, you’re actually amazing..." "So you’re basically the boss at tasting." They laugh. Simon looks proud and a little shy.
SIMON
(teasingly to Oskar) "Well then, O... It’s just you who needs refining." (They laugh.)
