Looking for young children and young adults for parent roles for a commerial
The Commercial is for an Organic Toddler Food with each commercial featuring different talent - with an emphasis on diverse, healthy, vibrant, active families.
We are aiming to find real family groupings ie Dad and toddler /Mum, Dad and baby etc but having said that we are open to submitting uncles or aunts with their nieces or nephews.
We would also like to have a selection of ethnically diverse males and females in their 30s who may be cast as part of a couple if necessary.
HEYCAST REQUIREMENT
We will be submitting talent over the weekend using HeyCast and everyone who is submitted will need to have their profile set up. Parents can add their child's profiles using the following process and can be either considered as CHAPERONES only or considered for the parent role. Let us know which you prefer.
For parents we recommend you set up your HeyCast account and profile first. To create an account go to HeyCast using this LINK and set up a profile. When you have your profile done click on the Setting Menu on the left side panel in your HeyCast account and select CREATE CHILD PROFILE. This allows you to create a new profile using the same email address and you can then add all the details for your child. Repeat for additional children.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
