STS #9: DE'LONGHI

The casting call for the De’Longhi Dinamica commercial asked for a real mother with her child specifically, due to COVID safety precautions. With safety in mind, instead of finding 2 separate actors to pair up, a lot of people from the same household are being cast together.

The close connection between friends/family members we see during the remote callback provides a great visual reference on how talent would interact with each other during the actual filming. @imjacinth and her daughter Jenesis stood out because of the natural chemistry between them.

Casting during quarantine provides an opportunity for both learning and exploring. Many professional actors have taken this opportunity to involve their children in their scenes, potentially inspiring them to start acting themselves!
