CASTING CALL – THE OXFORD CHAMBER MOCKUMENTARY

Description

A mockumentary crew gains unprecedented access to Oxford's most prestigious debating society, The Oxford Chamber. Following a political nudity scandal, the newly elected President and committee must try to salvage the institution's crumbling reputation.

LOOKING FOR:
Actors aged 18–25 for the following lead roles:

PRESIDENT
Male, playing age 18–25. Confident and optimistic, but potentially arrogant. A natural politician who charms people and genuinely believes in the integrity of the Chamber. Naive about people and often hears what he wants to hear.

REPORTER
Female, playing age 18–25. Passionate about the truth but willing to compromise her moral code to ensure people hear what they need to. Intense, clever and manipulative.

SECRETARY
Male, playing age 18–25. Dedicated to keeping the Chamber running smoothly but easily stressed. Obsessive about his work, uncomfortable with the unexpected and socially awkward, but kind in a shy way.

TREASURER
Male, playing age 18–25. A shrewd political manoeuvrer who prioritises his own interests. Sees membership of the Chamber as a mark of superiority and is quick to abandon it when convenient.

LIBRARIAN
Female, playing age 18–25. Image-conscious and self-absorbed on the surface, with an extroverted and sometimes irritating personality. Beneath this, she knows exactly what she wants and will do whatever it takes to achieve it.

LOCATION
Central Oxford

SHOOTING DATES
Early Hilary term, mid-January to early February 2027. Exact dates to be confirmed.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE
Saturday 17 October 2026
