A UNM film casting call is now open, and Story Quest Studios is excited to share this UNM film casting call with actors across Albuquerque and New Mexico. Konara Lab is beginning early casting for several short film projects scheduled to film throughout Spring and Summer 2026 — and no prior experience is required.
UNM Film Casting Call: About the Projects
This is a preliminary search designed to meet talent, see who is out there, and start matching people to roles based on who they naturally are. Konara Lab is not looking to heavily coach or reshape actors — they want to cast people whose natural qualities align with the characters they have written. Any reels, clips, or videos submitted will help the team understand your presence on camera and place you in the project that fits you best. If you have been developing your on-camera confidence in our Albuquerque acting classes, this is a great opportunity to put yourself in front of a production team that values authenticity over performance polish. These projects are part of the growing UNM Film and Digital Media Arts community that Story Quest Studios is proud to support.
Who They Are Looking For
Konara Lab is seeking actors in two age ranges — 18 to 28 (all genders) and 30 to 45 (all genders). All experience levels are welcome. Submissions should include a clear headshot and a full body photo. Responses can be expected within two weeks of submission.
