Looking for talent able to portray Caucasian males and females age 20s-40s for a COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS RED CARPET SCENE! Owning your own evening wear is NOT required for this booking.

This production is requiring all cast & crew to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and to be considered for work you MUST FALL INTO EITHER OF THE TWO FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: (1) fully vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson & Johnson) or (2) have a disability or sincerely held religious belief that prevents vaccination.

If you meet this criteria, only reply “Yes” WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AT THIS TIME. If you are selected, you will be given separate information on how to provide evidence to the production that you fall within the two categories mentioned above. Any job offer will be conditioned on satisfactorily showing such evidence to the production AND testing negative for COVID. The production will collect your evidence, not Central Casting; thus do NOT send your evidence to Central Casting.

——

As a condition of working on set, you are required to get a paid Covid-19 test at a production sanctioned testing facility prior to any work date(s). Additional testing may also be done on workdays. The COVID test MUST be completed 48 hours prior to your first work date.

While at the test facility and on set, Production requires that a face mask that covers your nose and mouth be worn. All possible work dates are contingent upon clearing these tests.

*** UNION SUBMISSIONS ONLY ***

Must be registered with Central Casting!!!!! 

Must pass COVID test to work. Even if you test negative, you are not confirmed for work unless we send you details confirming the shoot day. 

• Kira is taking submissions for a show seeking background to portray 30-50 year olds who can comfortably flip an egg in a pan. Covid test MONDAY 1/31, work WEDNESDAY 2/2 in San Pedro. 

NOTE:

This production is requiring all cast & crew, including background actors, to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and to be considered for work you MUST FALL INTO EITHER OF THE TWO FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: (1) fully vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine (meaning more than 14 days have passed since you received both the initial and second shot of Pfizer or Moderna, or since you received the single shot of Johnson & Johnson) or (2) have a disability or sincerely-held religious belief that prevents vaccination. 

Failure to provide satisfactory evidence will result in your not being hired for the project and/or turned away from set (as though no offer of work was given). In such case, you will NOT be eligible for payment because you were not employed/hired. The production, not Central Casting, will collect your evidence; thus, do NOT send your evidence to Central Casting.

Regardless of vaccination, you must still test negative for COVID-19 on one or more tests to be arranged by production prior to the first production work date.  

As a condition of working on set, all talent are required to get Covid-19 test at a production sanctioned testing facility prior to any work date. Must be okay with any form test (nasal swabs, etc). Additional testing may also be done on workdays. While at the test facility and on set, Production requires that a face mask that covers your nose and mouth be worn.
