Casting Company COVID Cattle Call

Project Details

Filming yourself from home as if you’re making multiple tik toks about covid conspiracy theories. A script will be provided and you will be required to make short 5 video clips but filming yourself in selfie mode. Each clip you will be required to be in a different location in different clothing. The locations can just be different parts of your house or outside it’s up to you.

The aim is to make this as believable as possible, as if you are a tik tok doctor. The filming/lighting/sound doesn’t have to be perfect, filming on your phone is perfectly fine. After you’ve finished the videos, you can WhatsApp them to me. The fee is ₤100.

The videos will then be posted on the facebook page “it’s gone viral”

$139 per whore.

This is a fun one, and Improv Everywhere didn’t need much of a flash mob. More info here. [h/t Jonco]

“It’s such a shame that you became such an issue. Oh dear Johnny, I’ll miss you.”
