CASTING CALL: CAMPING FAMILIES
STATUS: CLOSED
We are finished casting this project! If you’re interested in future gigs, please sign up for general consideration.
WHO WE NEED
We need camping families for a photo + video shoot for REI.
We’re looking for families who enjoy camping together! We need families who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, or Person of Color) with basic camping experience or above! If your family loves being outdoors and can pitch a tent and cook on camp stoves, we’d love to meet you!
We’re looking for families with at least one parent, and one kid under 18. Beyond that, any combination of grandparents or extended family members is great! We’re especially excited to meet grandparents!
We’re looking for groups of approximately 4-7 people, but can be flexible. All genders and sexualities welcome.
All family members must share a COVID19 pod and live in Washington state to apply. This is a COVID19 safety consideration and we sadly cannot make exceptions.
You don’t need any professional modeling experience to apply. You should feel comfortable on camera and be good at taking direction.
People of all identities (races, sizes, physical abilities, genders, sexualities, religions, ethnicities, countries of origin, and more) who fall within the given parameters are welcome and encouraged to apply. We are committed to representing authentic diversity across all projects.
Don’t fit this role? We encourage you to sign up for general consideration.
We strive to use inclusive and affirming language in our casting process. Please let us know if you have any feedback for us.
