MTV is doing a casting call for deaf teenagers and young adults to feature in an upcoming broadcast of their show, "True Life." Samples of other programs they have done can be accessed through the link at the bottom. If you know of someone who might be a good candidate have him or her contact casting at the e-mail below. Thanks!
Casting Call: Do you have severe or total deafness? Are you a deaf student, about to graduate and go out into the world on your own for the very first time? Or are you currently attending a school for the deaf but about to transition to a mainstream school? Perhaps you're trying to find a job but experiencing difficulty because you are deaf? Are you hoping to get a cochlear implant or to be fitted for a hearing aid to significantly improve your ability to hear? Are you a member of an advocacy group, fighting to gain more rights or assistance for deaf people?
***If you fit any of these descriptions, MTV and Gigantic! Productions want to hear your story.
***MTV's True Life is a long-running, award-winning documentary series where young people share their stories in their own words. We hope that, by allowing people to tell their stories and communicate directly with their peers, we can impact the way people interact and engage with the world they live in.
If you appear to be between the ages of 14-28, and would like to share your story, please e-mail us at casting@gigantic. tv and be sure to include your name, location, phone number, and a photo.
Since 2001, Gigantic! Productions, a New York City-based production company, has been producing hard-hitting, award-winning documentary programming for networks such as MTV and CMT. Please visit our website: www.gigantic. tv to find out more.
