Casting: Seeking out-of-work Professional Musicians to uplift Self-Isolating Neighbours during COVID-19 for a Commercial - Toronto, Canada
Description:
Let’s brighten the day of a neighbour(s) whose spirits could use a lift, by performing a moving solo just for them, in accordance with physical distancing.
Open to any talented professional musician or singer who can accompany themselves with a guitar, violin, bagpipes, cello, fiddle, keyboards, recorded bed track, or other instrument.
If you live beside or across from an individual, couple, or family that is self-isolating at home and having a particularly hard time, share their story with us, and let’s give them a musical boost! Some examples of self-isolating stories include, but are not limited to:
– A senior living on his or her own, who had to spend a birthday in isolation.
– A senior living on his or her own, who had to spend a birthday in isolation.
– Frontline working parents who are struggling to take care of their 3 children.
– Parents who just had a baby and haven’t yet introduced their newborn to family and friends due to COVID.
– Someone with underlying medical conditions who is afraid to leave home.
– A couple who had to call off a big wedding/honeymoon and settle for a small affair at City Hall.
Musicians must perform 2-3 original songs that they have copyright to or play classical pieces that are in the public domain.
In order to qualify, you will need to have lost your job as a musician or lost gigs due to COVID-19 and currently be physical distancing.
There will be no need to travel beyond your property, but we’ll need to see your neighbour’s front yard or balcony from the exterior of your home, your lawn or driveway.
The performance will be a surprise for your neighbour, plus we will need permission from at least one family member to perform the solo and film it.
We’ll supply a loaner iPhone 11 and tripod to use for the shoot, with a tutorial from our director.
