Casting Opportunity

ABOUT THE SHOW:

 Reno Rescue is a new Cottage Life series that dives into the world of cottage reno projects gone wrong. In each episode, top notch carpenter Dave Depencier and his team turn disaster reno projects into a little piece of cottage perfection. Along the way they right all the wrongs and teach cottage DIYers how to do things properly.

 13 half-hour episodes

·         To air on Cottage Life Spring 2015


 CASTING DETAILS:

Currently looking for Ontario cottagers within a 3 hour radius of Ottawa. Have a cottage that is in need of a renovation rescue? We want to help!

·         We want to come to the rescue of cottage owners who enjoy relaxing more than working or an inexperienced DIY culprit who has gotten in over his head resulting in an unfinished project.
·         We are looking for projects that have stalled because cottagers don’t know what to do next and have some sort of visual progress such as open stud walls or plywood floors.
·         We are not looking for inherited problems. i.e. problems that came with the cottage and are not a result of the current work of the owners.

 Why apply?

To get ready for next year’s cottage season in your newly-renovated summer oasis.

·         Production will supply labour as well as substantial free materials and participants are required to contribute a minimum of $2,000 to the renovations.

How to apply:

 So if you’re tired of trying to finish or fix your not-so-inspired renos and want to relax in the upcoming cottage season we’re encouraging applicants to email submissions to casting@mountainroad.ca with the following information and the subject heading “Reno Rescue”:

·         Interior & exterior photos of your cottage – including at least 3 photos of the stalled renovation.

·         A photo of you and your loved ones.

·         A brief written description of your situation.   

·         Your contact information – including email, phone numbers (home/cell) and the

location/address of your cottage.

 Deadline:  Don’t delay. Production starts this fall and the sooner you apply the better your chances of being on the show.
