AN ODD BUT FUN ONE Have you ever wondered what your pets or farm animals are thinking? We often think we know what they want... but what if we're way off? We're looking for some California-based individuals and families who want their pets to get a psychic reading -- no dog is too fussy; no cat is too lazy; no alpaca is too stylish -- for a fun new show. All are welcome, and our host can connect with any and all types. Dog, cat, and exotic pet owners are encouraged to get in ...touch. Hosted by a television/film celebrity. Looking to film the week of June 15.

NEW CASTING CALL: I'm seeking small businesses, run by groups of friends or family. Our host is both a business expert and a psychologist -- able to fix the issues that plague businesses, and those that run them. In short, when the business goes through tough times, so do the relationships behind them -- even best friends and siblings begin to have fractured relationships. Our series aims to mend both fences simultaneously, and I'm confident that we've found the perfect host... for the project. She's based in Portland, but will be traveling nationwide to help those in need of her services. Please pass along this call to anyone you know that might be in need! We're scheduling short Skype interviews this week and next.

If you know anyone in San Francisco that would like to be involved -- we're filming a fun project the first week of January. It will not be for air -- we're using it to demonstrate format, and it'll be a hell of a good time. Our host, Virgie Tovar, is a wonderful, wonderful lady who runs some really fun camps and seminars to help people with larger bodies love their size, rather than feel ashamed of them. She has some really cool stuff planned for the shoot, and we're excited... to be making a show that will benefit not only the attendees but, eventually, the viewers. --- A new series hosted by a well-known body-positive sexpert is currently casting couples who have a story to tell about their size and their sex lives. Whether one partner is larger than the other, or both are heavy, couples who are open about sexuality, and the things standing between them and the love life they desire, are encouraged to submit their stories. With a fun and engaging conversation, we'll explore the world of plus size love -- and the emerging businesses that are increasingly interested in appealing to people with larger bodies. Whether hurdles are internal (not feeling sexy because the fashion choices are limited) or external (differing body types makes certain positions difficult), everyone will feel loved, engaged, and will leave the day-long retreat loving their bodies. Filming is January 7th in a kick-ass SF location, and there are several networks anxious to bid on the project once it's completed.

TWO NEW CASTING CALLS: A major cable network is seeking participants for a new and exciting opportunity to tackle a grueling course while battling against some of Mother Nature's toughest weather. Active hikers, survivalists, adventure lovers, and thrill-seekers are encouraged to get in touch. Participants will be challenged to make it from Point A to Point B during inclement weather. We're seeking people willing to take on the challenge -- and confident that they can navigat...e through tough terrain and tricky weather. In some instances, they may be driven by their past experiences living through a hurricane, blizzard, or mudslide. In other instances, they're hoping to prepare themselves for a worse-case survival scenario. We will be scheduling short Skype or Google Hangout interviews with those who are interested. --- We're also seeking a host for a new cooking competition show. Candidates will have some cooking credentials and will be at ease interacting with people of all backgrounds -- even those who are currently incarcerated. We will be scheduling short Skype or Google Hangout interviews with those who are interested.

NOW CASTING: I'm seeking Colorado or Utah-based couples who are practicing abstinence prior to marriage. We've been picked up for series by the network, and the show revolves around a weekend-long retreat hosted by husband-and-wife Christian relationship therapists, who prepare their clients for the "honeymoon and beyond." Any recommendations are welcomed and appreciated. We've got calls into a ton of appropriate places and people, but would love interested parties to Skype w...ith this week. Questions welcome: [email protected] -- thanks!

Seeking American families for an opportunity to participate in an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experiment for a major cable network. If you know someone interested in the Amish lifestyle who would like to live among an Amish community, living off of the land, working together, and sharing the family values of the community, pass this note around. We have an Amish community that is very excited to welcome a family into their homes, and to share their way of life with those ...interested in learning. It is a community that practices slightly more relaxed rules than traditional Amish communities, but still shuns technology and wears plain dress. Ideal families will possess some useful skills to the community -- such as farming or carpentry -- but is not required. Ultimately, you will be joining an active community -- one that expect you to contribute while learning the ways of the small society. We will be scheduling short Skype or Google Hangout interviews with those who are interested in being considered.

New casting call -- please share with friends and family, in case they know someone who fits the bill. It's obviously a sensitive subject matter, but they will remain private and the videos discreet. --- Depend, the most trusted brand in absorbent undergarments, is seeking a group of people to discuss their incontinence and explore a new product innovation.... Through a series of videos, Depend aims to capture people embracing (and re-embracing) challenges thanks to the new product. People living with incontinence will see what a difference the upcoming innovation can make, as it helps people to live the lifestyle they want to live. Existing Depend users, as well as users of other brands are invited to try the new product, and describe what a difference the garment makes in their daily lives, or as they try something they've always hoped to do, but never felt comfortable trying before. The videos will be available on Depend's website, giving those seeking information a real face -- and real stories -- to help as they research incontinence solutions for themselves. Active people in their forties, fifties, and sixties, who are willing to discuss their incontinence issues are encouraged to apply to [email protected]. None of their personal information, aside from your first name, will be shared publicly and will not be used in the videos if you are selected. We will be scheduling short Skype interviews with interested parties, but they are largely introductory -- learning about you and your incontinence, and what you'd do if you had a better solution.
