CAB Castings, one of Atlanta’s top background casting companies, has issued an urgent paid casting call for a new untitled independent feature film shooting this Friday, December 5, 2025, and they’re looking for something very specific: real Liberian and West African community members who already live the look.
The production needs a large, lively group of background performers to fill a sprawling family home for what’s described as “a warm, vibrant Liberian household with American influence” – think loud laughter, overlapping conversations, aunties in the kitchen, uncles telling stories, and kids running through the backyard.
The scene will span the living room, kitchen, family room, and outdoor area of a single-family home in the Atlanta metro area.
