🎥 CASTING CALL!

We’re looking for adults in their 40s–60s to play parents and family members in the holiday campaign. We have a few featured roles with dialogue, as well as smaller non-speaking roles and background extras. We're especially hoping to find a Dad (40s–60s) for an emotional speaking role in the final scene, as well as Moms (40s–60s) for some really tender family moments. Acting experience is wonderful but definitely not required!

Shoot Dates & Locations:
- Friday, October 23 | 6–10 PM — Provo (family Christmas/pajama scenes)
- Saturday, October 24 | 6–10 PM — Centerville (family Christmas/gingerbread house scenes)
- Sunday, October 25 | 6–10 PM — Centerville (kitchen/family scenes and emotional parent-child reunion)

Each person would only be needed for the evening(s) their character appears, and most won't need to be there for the full four hours.

Wardrobe: Cozy, everyday winter/holiday clothing. Think sweaters, cardigans, warm neutrals, earthy tones, and subtle festive colors. Nothing overly formal or costume-like. We'll coordinate specific wardrobe with everyone once cast.

Hair & Makeup: Natural, everyday hair and makeup. We're going for a realistic, intimate, cinematic feel, so nothing elaborate is needed. Talent can arrive camera-ready.

Compensation: $150 for featured/principal roles and $75 for extras. Volunteers are also very welcome and appreciated!

Anyone interested can email us at: [email protected] with their name, age range, a current photo, availability, and any acting experience (if applicable).

Today, we celebrate National Coming Out Day—and every person who gets to live more fully as themselves. 🏳️‍🌈

Coming out can look different for everyone. It can be joyful, complicated, quiet, or something that unfolds over time. Wherever you are on your journey, you deserve to be met with love, respect, and belonging.

At Encircle, we believe every LGBTQ+ young person deserves a safe place to be exactly who they are. Today, we celebrate the courage it takes to share your truth, the people who make that journey safer, and the community that reminds us you belong here. 💛

🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ+ History Month is a time to remember, celebrate, and carry hope forward.

We honor the generations of LGBTQ+ people whose courage, creativity, and persistence have helped create a world with more visibility, acceptance, and belonging. So much has changed and every step forward is worth celebrating.

And there is still work to do. Too many LGBTQ+ young people are navigating loneliness, rejection, and uncertainty about where they belong. Our history reminds us that meaningful change happens when we show up for one another and keep creating spaces where people can feel safe, seen, and loved.

At Encircle, we’re proud to be part of that work. Every hug, conversation, meal, art night, and moment of connection helps remind LGBTQ+ youth and families: you are not alone, you belong, and there is a place for you here.

This month, we celebrate how far we’ve come, honor those who helped light the way, and look toward a future filled with even more connection, belonging, and hope. 💛

At Encircle, showing up with love means providing life-affirming, accessible therapy for LGBTQ+ young people and their families. ❤️

Here’s what that looks like in action:
✨ 4.8/5 average therapy client satisfaction
✨ 46% increase in self-compassion over 24 weeks of therapy
✨ Therapists trained to understand the unique needs of LGBTQ+ young people
✨ Therapy scholarships that help reduce financial barriers to care

Behind every number is a young person who deserves to know this, "you matter, you belong, and you don’t have to navigate things alone".

We’re grateful to everyone who helps make this care possible. If you’d like to help us continue showing up for LGBTQ+ youth and their families, please consider making a donation today at the link below. Every gift helps us keep affirming, life-saving services within reach. 🌈

Love shows up in the little things. 💛

A check-in. A listening ear. A reminder that someone matters. A moment of kindness when it’s needed most.

This Su***de Prevention Month, we’re honoring the power we all have to show up for one another. Dr. Julianne Holt-Lunstad reminds us you don’t need to have the perfect words, you just need to be present, lead with care, and let people know they’re not alone.

Let’s keep showing up. Let’s keep choosing connection. Let’s keep making space for every person to feel seen, valued, and loved. 🌈
