The Creators of American Pickers Are Holding an “America’s Got
Real Talent” Casting Call for Real People with Untapped TV Potential
at
the Summit Mall
New York - December 7, 2010 Do you
have what it takes to be the next great TV talent? That’s what Cineflix wants to know. Talent scouts are coming to Akron’s Summit Mall Monday,
December 13 at 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to find out what hidden talent
they can find at their “America’s Got REAL Talent” casting call.
The
company that produced such hit shows as American Pickers, Property
Virgins and Campus PD is on the hunt for professional
realtors, chefs, bakers, designers, contractors, business owners, animal
experts, vets, history buffs and anyone else who loves what they do and
thinks they have what it takes to make compelling television.
“This
isn’t about creating yet another TV talent show – we aren’t looking for
singers or wanna-be celebrities,” says Simon Lloyd, CEO of Programming
at Cineflix. “We want to find real Americans with real skills who
have a passion in life which they can communicate to a wide audience.”
Applicants
MUST HAVE a genuine expertise and a lot of character. For example:
- Are you a talented chef or remarkable realtor?
- Do you design divine homes or make your mark renovating wrecks?
- Do you run an exciting traditional business?
- Are you keeping a dying craft or way of life alive in a challenging economy?
- Do you have an unusual home/community/lifestyle?
- Do you run a fantastic event that has a great local following – which you think could be adapted and work well as a TV series?
- Are you a passionate expert who can communicate your love of history, science or technology to a wide and varied audience?
- Do you have a passion for the land? Do you know how to hunt, gather or make money from it?
To showcase your special talent, send a short paragraph about yourself and a photo to realtalent@cineflix.com. You can also meet us and impress us in person at the Summit Mall located at 3295 W. Market Street in Akron. For those who can’t make it on the day, get in touch by calling 646 873-6510 to set up an interview via Skype.
