Currently casting for authentic Native Hawaiian talent.

We are looking for talent located in Honolulu for a tobacco PSA campaign called “The Real Ripoff” with the Hawaii Tobacco Quitline.

REAL RIPOFF CASTING CALL FOR REGIONAL PSA

The Real Ripoff video will feature a woman who has finally realized the financial cost of smoking and, consequently, causing her to miss out on luxuries like eating out, and practicals like fixing her car. She enrolled with the Tobacco Quitline program to quit smoking and start living life as she prefers.

Production will take place in Honolulu, though the production dates are TBD due to COVID19. We were originally planning on filming in early June, but now are just hoping to film by the end of summer 2020. In the meantime, we are moving forward with casting since it can be done digitally.

Since this is a smoke free living campaign, talent should not have used tobacco recreationally for at least 6 months prior to production. This lifestyle requirement does not include tobacco usage related to sacred or religious practices.
