An open audition for prospective 48 Hour Film Project actors, and teams that are casting acting talent. Auditions will be held at San Diego 48 Hour Film Project’s sponsor, Spark Studio Soundstage in Kearny Mesa. Actors of all skill levels are encouraged to try out, and all teams (or potential teams) looking to cast talent are likewise encouraged to come. Audition spots are first-come-first-served, so please arrive promptly at the start.
The San Diego 48 Hour Film Project will be having its 2025 open auditions at Spark Studio Soundstage in Kearny Mesa this Sunday, July 20, 2025.
Please bring headshots if you have them, your contact information, and be prepared to deliver a one minute monologue of your choosing from a favorite play or movie script that showcases your talent. All skill levels are welcome. Audition spots are first-come first-served, so please arrive promptly.
Be prepared to take notes, make contacts and have questions and direction for actors that are relevant to the kind of films you may end up making for the 48. For example, if your writing team’s strengths are comedic, you may ask the actor to repeat one of the lines of their monologue in that tone.
Even if you’re only curious about film-making and what the casting process looks like, come down and see what the 48 Hour Film Project is all about!
The 48 Hour Film Project is the longest running and most popular timed filmmaking competition. Amateur and professional teams around the world make movies over a weekend, which are later given a premier in a real theater. San Diego’s competition takes place August 15-17th, 2025.
