Do You Want To Be In A TV Commercial With Your Dog or Dogs?
We are now in the process of creating a Public Service Announcement for the Atlanta Humane Society. We are looking for interesting people who share their lives with interesting dogs to cast in this PSA.
- The goal of the PSA is to create awareness for all the wonderful dogs waiting to be adopted at the Humane Society’s shelter.
- Visually, the PSA will consist simply of portraits, shot on video, aimed at trying to capture a special moment, a real connection, between you and your dog.
- Ideally, your dog will be a rescue, adopted as a puppy or adult from some shelter, rescue organization, or a family, somewhere. Perhaps a stray you adopted. Mutts with a lot of character are preferred but not mandatory. Purebreds will also be considered.
- Because there will be crew members and at least a few other dogs around, we ask that your dog be well socialized, not aggressive, and at least moderately comfortable in unfamiliar settings.
- You and your dog(s) will be needed at Turner Studios, 1020 Techwood Drive, Atlanta, for a maximum of two hours on a date to be determined, probably either Tuesday, March 1 or Wednesday, March 2.
Since the Atlanta Humane Society is a non-profit and we are producing this PSA on a bare-bones budget, you will not be compensated financially. However, you will be helping out a wonderful organization that does a lot of truly important work. And, if selected, you will be given a DVD of the completed commercial.
To be considered for participation, please send a recent photo of you (or a designated family member) and your dog(s). Photos showing more than one family member, or more than one dog, are also acceptable and encouraged. We’d love to see solicitations from a diverse selection of Atlantans – all races, ages, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientation, disabilities, etc. Deadline is Thursday, February 24th. You will be notified if you are selected for the PSA.
