“Auto Scroll” PSA Open Casting Call
An SME Public Service Announcement (non-union, paid)
About the PSA:
Auto-scroll is about satirical PSA that critiques the way our society values technology over human life. It’s set a technology conference where a well-known company is unveiling their newest products: an app that will automatically scroll for you when drive, because you’re probably doing it anyway, and new emokis to describe your inevitable car accidents. The eeriness of the technology pitch is the attention-grabber through which we will spread our message.
Casting:
We need extras (25-85, any gender, any ethnicity) to be attendees of the technology conference, listening intently and clapping at appropriate times.
Shooting:
We will be shooting Sunday, November 13th, beginning at 11:30 AM at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
Extras will be needed for a maximum of 2 hours.
