Casting Call: "Lost in the Woods"

No acting experience is needed, and this is a paid position! $250/day and potentially higher depending on skill. Locking down locations either Beverley, WV or Kumbrabow State Forest.

We're casting for our next unscripted YouTube experiment. We're looking for real people to be part of the next one.

We’re assembling a pool of potential rescuers with different skills and backgrounds. This may include experienced hikers, survival/outdoors experts, Scouts, drone operators, search-dog teams, geocachers, and other people the lead rescuers could determine would be useful.

We are also looking for interesting people and people with unusual hobbies that you wouldn't expect on a wilderness rescue team.

For example, one of the roles we're hoping to cast is a "grandma type" with a big personality: someone engaging and comfortable on camera, who isn't afraid of technology but isn't especially familiar with it either.

So in other words, everyone is welcome to apply!

Because this is a real experiment, we don’t know in advance exactly who will be selected or how the search will unfold.
If you are selected for our final candidate pool, you will be paid a day rate to remain available during the agreed filming window, whether or not you are called into the field.

If you know someone who'd be a great fit, feel free to tag them or share this post!
