What roles are the Hallmark film casting for?
While the stars of this new Holiday Touchdown installment haven’t been announced just yet, filming is just around the corner and the production is in need of a few extras.

If you are looking to apply to be an extra, the crew is searching for football fans, either male or female of any ethnicity. You must be 18 years or older to apply and you need to have an EP casting profile to be considered.
What to expect
For those who end up being cast as an extra, there are a few things you can expect from the day of filming. Although this is a Christmas and winter-themed film, the project is being shot in July, so expect it to be a bit toasty outside.
Filming dates will be on Tuesday, July 7 and Wednesday, July 8 for a daytime shoot, which can be expected to be a 12 hour day. The location for filming will take place right in Chicago, Illinois. There will be some fittings, but not every extra cast has to come in for a fitting.
