For this proof of concept, our team is looking for extras (13U) to be participating in a scene at a basketball court and one coming back from school. No lines will be needed, but if any of them would like to adlib or improv anything, they will have the creative freedom to do so (or just gain experience on a set if there is interest!) NOTE: Talent under the age of 18 must have a parent or legal guardian’s permission to apply and must have a parent or legal guardian on set/studio or event at all times.
