Comments
Performers must be located in Toronto/GTA.

We will be observing ACTRA guidelines for all performers, including roles played by minors. Auditions will be held via self tapes, and where a callback or in-person audition is requested a parent or legal guardian is expected to be present.

Said parent or legal guardian is expected to be present throughout filming. A workday for minors will not exceed 8 hours, excluding meals, and where overtime is applicable it will be capped in line with ACTRA guidelines. Performers will have minimum 12 hours of rest time between shoot days.

Some scenes will be filmed in/around a pool. Said scenes will be filmed with a lifeguard and trained first aid delegate on set. Aforementioned scenes may require performers to be costumed in a bathing suit; changes of clothes and dedicated changing areas will be provided to ensure performer comfort, and water temperature and duration of time in the water (if applicable) will be monitored.

All scenes will be communicated to the performer and their parent/guardian to ensure clear communication and safety of the performers on set.
