FSM CASTING CALL — Our shoot has been pushed back, so there is more time for casting. Submissions now end 8/1 Please submit the info below to [email protected] to be considered.
Ben and I are shooting a dog food commercial towards the end of the month and we are hoping to keep it all in the family. Please let me know if you or someone you know might be interested in shooting with us in the San Juan Mountains in SW Colorado. Check out the specs below.
Professional and known production company looking for outdoorsy talent in Colorado for a shoot in the middle of August.
We are looking for 2 people that own dogs with which they regularly hike or trail run off-leash in the mountains. It’s important that the dog belongs to them, and they are a true team with an obvious bond. Looking for real people who are active, not models. We’re looking for interesting or off-beat dogs, rather than Golden Retrievers, Border Collies and Chocolate Labs. (Though if you have one of these pure breeds please feel free to still apply)
See details below for more information. Only if you fit the description please send requested pictures and specs to [email protected]
