Commercial 1

We are shooting a 30 second PSA for Arrive Alive. The story follows a series of intrepid friend groups as they begin exploring the many exciting restaurants and bars of Ontario in a post-covid world. It’s a light, comedic, cheeky, and most importantly fun spot to remind viewers about the safe practices of drinking out at establishments again after so many months of isolation.

We will be having a one day shoot somewhere in the date range of Sept 2-6th 2021. All locations will be in the Niagara Region (a travel stipend will be included). As this is a charitable PSA, rates are on an honorarium basis. We will be following CPAT guidelines for running a safe set during COVID times, including practicing self distancing, staggering crews when possible and mandatory sanitization. This project is MOS. Because of COVID-19, we are unable to hold in person auditions. All talent will be needed on set for a maximum of 5 hours. Submission deadline is Friday Aug 27th. We will contact the selected actors by Tuesday Aug 31st. Thank you for your interest in this project, we’re looking forward to watching your submissions!
