Leon’s Commercial Casting Call
Jigsaw Casting Ltd. Is Looking For Busy Families For an Upcoming Leon’s Campaign!
Roles
Life is hectic for all of us, and quality family time often gets sacrificed. Canadians are spending less time at home with their families making down time more precious than ever.
We’re looking to hear from active families of 4-5 who want to spend more time together or make more time for each other. We want to shoot a day in the life of your family! We will capture you in your daily routine (school, work, etc.) as well as the time spent at home with the people who matter most. We are ideally looking for parents between the ages of 30-45.
We are particularly interested in families that use tracking devices. Maybe Mom uses MyFitnessPal while making dinner to track nutrients in the meal. Dad is getting stock alerts on his iPhone every 5 minutes. Daughter is a FitBit junkie. Son is monitoring how many basketball bounces he’s been able to cram in to a day. If anyone in your family uses these kind of devices tell us about it!
*Pays approximately $1500+ per individual if selected for online use
**Please note: our selected family will be required to wear tracking bracelets while at home for 2 weeks as part of the shoot
