What it is

The team films,
the team wins

"HD cameras, costumes, props and a final gala where everyone becomes a star for a day."

Actors for a Day immerses the team in the world of film. Each group has the freedom to choose the genre and theme of their production: they can recreate an iconic TV scene, film a corporate news broadcast, shoot a company advert or create something entirely original.

We provide all the technical equipment — HD camera, clapperboard, lighting, costumes and props — and a professional team that accompanies the shoot. Participants focus on acting, directing and creating. The result always surprises.

The activity culminates in a final gala where all productions are screened and a jury awards the Emmy prizes for best performance and best script.

How it works

How it works
Actors for a Day

From idea to stardom in an afternoon. Five phases, a short film and a gala nobody forgets.

01
Teams and theme
Teams are formed and each one chooses their theme. TV series, news broadcast, corporate advert, action or comedy scene. We can also adapt the theme to the company's values if you prefer.
02
Script and roles
Each team writes their script and assigns roles: actors, director, camera, wardrobe. The team's creativity comes into play from the very first minute. Nobody is left without a role that makes them shine.
03
Rehearsal
With costumes and props ready, teams rehearse their scenes. Time is limited, so coordination and quick decisions are key to arriving well prepared for the shoot.
04
Shoot
HD camera, clapperboard, lights and action. Our professionals capture the productions while teams give their best in front of the cameras. Every second of footage counts for the final result.
05
Emmy Gala
Screening of all productions, applause, laughter and the most awaited moment: the Emmy awards for best performance and best script. The perfect finale to an afternoon of film.
The formats

Choose your genre,
we provide the equipment

Each team can choose the format that best fits their style. Drama, comedy, action, journalism... there are options for every profile.

Format
TV series recreation
Teams choose an iconic TV show and recreate the most memorable scene. Costumes, props and performances that mix homage with parody. The format that generates the most laughs at the final gala.
Format
Corporate news broadcast
The team creates their own news programme with presenters, reporters and fictional company news. A format that combines irony with insider corporate knowledge. Always gets the audience roaring.
Format
Corporate advert
The team creates an advertising spot for the company. From the script to the final shot, everything is the team's decision. The result is usually a mix of creativity, humour and genuinely brilliant moments.
Format
Free short film
Maximum creative freedom: the team chooses the genre, writes the script from scratch and shoots their own film. Drama, comedy, thriller, romance. No restrictions. The format that generates the most surprises at the gala.
Why it works

The result is
recorded forever.

Most team building activities leave nothing tangible. Actors for a Day does: a video the team can rewatch, share and remember for years. That turns the experience into something far beyond the day of the event.

Moreover, the vulnerability of performing on camera creates bonds between colleagues that no conventional dynamic achieves.

What the team works on

Skills the team develops
in Actors for a Day

Behind the cameras and costumes there is real teamwork. Cinematic creation under time pressure activates exactly the skills most needed in the workplace.

Collective creativity

From the script to the choice of characters, the creative process belongs to the team. The activity shows that creativity is not an individual talent but a group capability that emerges when there is trust and freedom.

Communication

Writing a script as a group requires active listening, negotiation and consensus. Filming requires real-time coordination. Both phases are intensive training in effective communication under pressure.

Leadership

Someone has to take artistic direction, coordinate the shoot and keep the pace when time is pressing. Actors for a Day brings out natural leaders from where nobody expected them, often the most unexpected profiles.

Trust and vulnerability

Performing on camera requires a vulnerability that few company activities generate. When the team sees their colleagues take that step, a bond of trust is created that is hard to replicate in any other context.

Time management

The script has to be ready, rehearsals complete and the shoot finished within a set time. The activity trains the ability to prioritise, make quick decisions and maintain quality under time pressure.

Adaptability

On the shoot something unexpected always comes up: an actor who freezes, a scene that doesn't work, an idea that needs changing on the fly. The ability to adapt and pivot without losing energy is fundamental.
