Attention New York and New Jersey Veteran-Owned Businesses: New TV Show Casting for a Veteran!

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

VeteranOwnedBusiness.com received the following message recently from Gia Kornet, Casting Associate Producer for Embassy Row Productions.   Please read the following email and contact Gia directly if you have any questions and/or for more information.

—————————————————————————————

“I work for Embassy Row Productions (Who Wants To Be A Millionaire) we are currently casting a new series for TV Land and would like to have a veteran on the show.
 
The show works by nominating a deserving individual with the most fun and memorable day ever. We work closely with family and the business owner to set up a day full of surprises and celebrity encounters.
 
Seeing that the is a surprise I was hoping to get the word out to veteran owned businesses who could benefit from TV coverage of their company. If they have another veteran working for them they could nominate that person. If the person is cast then we would want to shoot in the company location.
 
At this time we are only casting in New York & New Jersey and are looking to nominate a veteran between the ages of 30-50.
 
See below for information and feel free to post or email members about the show.
 
My company is working on a new series for TV LAND called “Make My Day.”  It’s a fun, new show with humorous scenarios and great surprises. The show works by having people like you nominate a family member/friend/co-worker/employee who deserves an amazing and memorable day.

Here is blurb about the show:

Do you know someone you’d like to surprise with the best day of their life?  Then nominate them and they’ll be the star of their own show for a day!

Here is who we’re looking for:

Must be 30 to 50 years of age
Lives with someone over the age of 18
Resides in New York or New Jersey
Has great reactions and an upbeat, friendly, outgoing personality
Generally follows a structured routine through out the week
Does not work for a business chain of any kind, preferably a privately owned, smaller business

If you know someone who you think would be perfect for this please email:

GMK@EMBASSYROW.COM OR CALL GIA AT 646.386.9098

PLEASE ATTACH A PHOTO OF THE PERSON YOU’RE NOMINATING AND TELL US ALL ABOUT THEM!!!

AND REMEMBER…IT’S ALL A SURPRISE, SO DON’T LET THEM KNOW YOU’VE NOMINATED THEM!

And please feel free to pass this email onto your friends and co-workers, etc.

Thank you!!!
