Auditions in Toronto
Here is great opportunity for the right CANADIAN Families.
Casting directors in Canada are seeking families with specific looks to work on a commercial / promo video that will be filming on a cruise ship headed to Greece. Jigsaw Casting Ltd. Is Seeking Several Families to go on a Cruise For an Upcoming Campaign!
Would you love a family trip to Greece and get paid to go? If so read on. BY the way, families selected will be paid $20,000 + for the shoot. Casting directors are seeking Afro-Canadian families and those that are Latin mixed. Specifically, they are seeking families that have at least 2 kids and a few grandparents may be needed as well. For the families cast, adults will be paid $9000 each and kids will be making $4500 each… plus, families get a trip to Greece!
There are some requirements. Families MUST be Canadian and fit the specs listed below. Since this requires international travel, family members must already have valid passports. Families applying must be local to the Toronto area since the roles will require an in person audition this week. Auditions will be held in Toronto on Friday. The deadline to submit is Friday, 12 Noon Toronto time. This will film on the ship and in Greece. Families must be open and available to travel on May 22nd and will be returning on May 29th.
Please only apply if you live in the Toronto area and are a resident of Canada.
EXTENDED DEADLINE!
We’re still looking for a few more inspirational Afro Canadian, Latin & Mixed Families! We are very short on Afro Canadian grandparents. Please share with your friends and submit by Friday, April 8th at 12pm. Thanks!
Do you want to take your family on your dream cruise all expenses paid? Does the thought of exploring the beautiful aquatic terrain of Greece perk your ears? How about getting paid to do it!? Then we have the casting for you!
PLEASE NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE A VALID PASSPORT THAT DOESN’T EXPIRE SOON TO SUBMIT FOR THIS CAMPAIGN! YOU MUST NOT HAVE A FEAR OF BOATS/GET SEASICK AS THIS SHOOTS ON A CRUISE SHIP!
