Raleigh Production Company Holding Casting Call
PRESS RELEASE — Distillery Pictures, a production company based in Raleigh, N.C. and division of Trailblazer Studios, Inc. is currently casting for a new reality series for FLN [Fine Living Network] to air first quarter 2010.
Fine Living is the fourth in a series of major brands from Scripps Networks that includes the Food Network, Home & Garden Television and the DIY/Do It Yourself Network. Scripps Networks is owned by The E.W. Scripps Company.
The series (the name could not be released at this time) premise is “helping out socially flawed individuals, known as ‘tools’,” according to Brenna Eckerson, series producer. What is a ‘tool’ you may ask? Well, the series defines a tool as an individual with an obvious character flaw that they’re oblivious to.
“Everyone knows someone who’s an over-the-top flirt, or an annoying suck-up at the office, the list goes on and on,” said Eckerson. “We’re looking for groups of friends that care about their ‘toolish’ friend and they wanna help—but they’re just too close to them to say anything.”
That’s where the show comes in, FLN is giving people the opportunity to say what they’ve always wanted to their friends. Through real-life situations and scenarios these ‘tools’ and their flawed ways are exposed and experts are brought in to change their behavior and help them see where they’ve gone wrong.
“We’re looking for groups of friends to help that one person in their social circle who has a glaring character flaw that they’re completely clueless about,” said Scott Myers, executive producer of Distillery Pictures.
Myers explains that the series isn’t about pointing fingers and calling people out, it’s about “helping people see their behaviors from outside their bubble in a fun, light-hearted way.”
The series will begin production as early as April 6, with seven episodes being shot in North Carolina in the Raleigh-Durham area, Charlotte and Wilmington. The remaining six episodes will be shot across the U.S., including New York, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Boston, et al.
Distillery Pictures is holding a casting session this Saturday, March 21 and Sunday, March 22 from noon to 6pm each day, respectively at their Trailblazer Studios location in Raleigh, N.C.
