ALL CRAZE MARKETS - MOMS & KIDS - CASTING NEW REALITY SHOW FOR MAJOR CABLE NETWORK
Posted by Craze Agency on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
New York-based Castle Pictures
(www.castlepix.com) is now casting moms for a new reality show for
a major cable network that every mom with a television and is intimately familiar with. This ain’t Real
Housewives… this is more like Actual Housewives. As in women who live in the actual world, have actual
Cheerios stamped into their rugs and wipe actual snot out of actual noses.
Here’s a brief on what and who we’re looking for:
Motherhood: It's every mother's story and now it's our punchline. Four mom bloggers will meet online to
share the kind of motherfunny anecdotes that start with the day they brought their kids home (from the
hospital, Russia, the cabbage patch, wherever) and end with "me, too." It's not that our stories are better
than anyone else's, we just make them sound funnier. If your day starts with "Mom where's my retainer?"
and ends with you jumping on your blog or your social media fix to share some joke therapy, you might
be a Bad Ass Mother. If your kids are ages 5 through 12 and you’ve already got them filling out college
applications, you might be a Bad Ass Mother. And if you’d gladly accept the intrusion of a camera crew in
your living room and trailing you to a PTA meeting or the grocery store to document your real, unfettered
mothering moments, this gig may be for you.
Interested candidates should be available for a day of filming in your hometown in November (a video
callback), and for filming on a more regular basis beginning in early 2013. But before we come to you,
please come to us with your own video submission by October 24, 2012.
Show—don't tell—your funny in a short video of approximately 2-4 minutes that demonstrates your
talent for both monologue and situational humor.
In your monologue, we'd love to laugh with you about any of these:
Your most embarrassing mom moment. Especially if it's the kind of thing your family stills picks
on you for at get togethers.
The things you do to entertain your kids. Fart noises? Bring it. Character voices? Yes that. Embarrassing?
Good, that's the ticket.
The old gray mare ain't what she used to be. Tell us how having kids has changed you, body and mind.
In the talent portion (i.e., a scene of you interacting with others in your element – friends, family,
teachers, obstetricians) you might want to riff on a topic like:
- Helicopter Parenting
- Extreme Mommy Makeovers
- Tween Idols: Yours vs. Your Kids
- Saving Your Kids Art “Treasures”
- School Fundraisers and Volunteer Requests
- Something else that captures your personal experience
Please send your DVD via snail mail to:
