Default Speed TV Bronx Parts Store Reality Show Casting Call!

Phew...ok guys. Here's the deal. I was contacted by a casting director for this Speed TV reality series revolving around a Bronx, NY car parts store.

They are looking for charismatic people with 'car problems' that the parts store staff can help with. Can't diagnose your problem? Can't find that special part? Looking for advise/parts for that special project? Can't figure out how to remove/install XYZ part? Stuff like that.

Shooting is in a few weeks and be an all day affair if/when your are chosen and scheduled. You will be compensated for your time and provided a discount for whatever part you need.

I'm compiling a short list of interested and auditioning parties. Here's your chance to be on TV and get your parts at discount. Interested parties please PM me with your geographic location, vehicle, vehicle problem, and contact info. :popcorn3:

Hmmm, so a reality series with staged script... sounds about right.

But I guess a show with people just buying oil and wiper blades isn't going to attract much attention.

Good luck.

hahaha i was thinking the same thing.

hey guy i'll come down there from boooston to the bronx talk a bunch of sh*t about the yankees and make it fun to watch. Then i will have a great story about needing so and so parts chasing a drag racing record and then you can pay me and give me the parts for pennies.

you can pm me if the offer/idea sounds good

Thumbs up

Gents...this is not my deal. I have NO financial gain. I am simply assisting a casting company. I submit names and projects, they decide who gets paid and put on camera. How you act and what you do once there is entirely on you.

I just found it humerous to stage a 'reality' show, but there are really only a few true reality shows on tv.

No worries...I was and still am a bit perplexed as to how to make good reality TV out of a parts store operation...but...that's why I'm not in the entertainment biz. Either way, it's a free $100+ for the day, discounted parts, and 10 seconds of fame.

Ok guys...I've got clarity on the show's premise and now, personally, better appreciate it. The show is focusing around the behind the scenes of a parts store that essentially guarantees that it can find ANY part! Hubcab for 56 DeSoto Adventurer....OEM Trailer Hitch cover for TBSS...T-56 trans for an SSR. With that they are looking for guys who are restoring or building projects and need to track down parts.
