Agents / Actors / ACTS Acting Students

This is one of those excellent opportunities to give something of yourself to the community and at the same time, gain a resume credit and work experience on set with a highly regarded Oklahoma producer/director.

DHS is producing a PSA for their Foster Care program. The creative concept behind this spot involves a large group of talent, and because this is a PSA, the budget is extremely limited. Paying all of the actors needed is simply not within their budget.

DHS is a consistant and regular employer of local Oklaohma talent. They are generous and fair in their payment and treatment of local talent, and their annual talent payment through Actors Casting & Talent Services runs between $10,000 - $20,000 each year.

This is the first time they've sought volunteers for a project in a number of years, and I'm hoping the OKC acting community will respond favorably and see this as an opportunity to support one of DHS's most important programs: The Foster Care program.

The commercial is being shot on a Saturday, so hopefully no one will have to take off work.
Many of the other production services are donating or partially donating labor and services as well.
The location is central to OKC and the producer/director will try to get everyone in and out.
Commercial experience is NOT required.
You don't have to have a talent agent to submit yourself for this commercial.
We're looking for real folks willing to give a few hours to a good cause and be in a commercial promoting the Foster Care program.

Thanks in advance for your support of this project.

Hey, it said one caucasian male graduate! We've got some that could fill that bill. Plus, we might have some parents who want to try for the parents of graduate roles.
