SUBMISSIONS:
If interested and available, please email the following to [email protected]
1. Snapshots: Full length and closeup
2. Contact info: Cell, home, work, email address if different than the one you use to email us this info.
3. Description of running ability and whether or not you’ve played basketball (not required, but good for us to know)
4. Availability Saturday – Monday.
5. If you have an agent, list name and phone number so we can audition and book you through them.
6. Read and be prepared to complete and submit the Amateur Athlete Questionnaire at time of audition (attached)
7. Watch your email for a response from us.
Auditions will be in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, and possibly Cleveland on Thursday, if we get enough responses from Cleveland residents. We may be able to take self-taped auditions, too, so please submit in the meantime while we figure out the casting schedule.
IMPORTANT: ANYONE IN 8TH GRADE THRU COLLEGE WHO PLAYS, OR PLANS TO PLAY, ON A SCHOOL SPORTS TEAM, SHOULD NOT AUDITION FOR THIS CAMPAIGN, AS THEY WILL NOT BE HIRED. This is because colleges do not permit student athletes to be in advertising, period, and doing so will jeopardize their eligibility to play.
Also, everyone who is hired will have to sign a non-disclosure agreement. So please don’t post or tweet anything about this project in the meantime.
THANKS! WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU!!
Please do not apply, if you are not local or if you do not fit the description.
