Upcoming PSA for Charity
We are still casting for both Healing Roots and Afiya PSAs, programs which are run by the SCHC. These PSAs will be filmed primarily in Scarborough over the course of 2-4 days between May 29th and June 1st. If you are under 18 yrs old, you must have a Parent/Guardian’s consent in order to apply. This is an excellent opportunity to gain acting experience and contribute to a meaningful project. Candidates with prior acting experience are encouraged to apply, but enthusiasm and a willingness to learn are equally valued. This is a Non-Union project and an honorarium and lunch will be provided.
