Posted (041911) Looking for Non-FICTION AND Reality Characters AND STORIES
We’re in the process of developing several show concepts and are on a search for compelling characters.
We're on the search again for unique and compelling characters that would work well for non-fiction and reality television.
We're looking for all sorts of characters and stories. They need to be fresh and compelling. Characters and ideas that are interesting in social conversations aren't necessarily what we're looking for. Enthusiasts are great, but we’re looking for something more. Compelling characters that shine as a result of their innovative talents, skills, or situations are more ideal. People who we feature should have practical, real-world experience. Iif you’ve got a unique story to tell us, we’re definitely interested. Pitch us!
Ideally, you should have some television experience, or at least a very strong desire to be on television. Those individuals whom we decide to work with will be required to sign an exclusivity agreement.
If you are interested, please send us a headshot, with all your information (including your personal pitch), with the subject line: “Talent Search” to: info@24fpsproductions.com
We look forward to hearing from you!
