HOST/Experts needed!
1.) Casting MD or Medical expert/examiner to Host a fun History Channel pilot similar to Discovery's Myth Busters.
We are casting a REAL EXPERT as the host, so to qualify you must have a degree in, background in or past experience in the Medical field.
You must have credibility...like a degree or past employment, but you do not necessarily need to be currently working in that field.
The show is called "Dying to Know", so instead of testing myths, we test theories of death. ...Sounds dark but it will be lighthearted, fun and hopefully our hosts will make it funny!
We answer questions everyone wants to know about how people die, or types of death...for instance, Is it true that in the 17th century when they used the guillotine, the head stayed conscience for 20 seconds?...We will reenact it with dummies and you will need to be able to give your input Medically speaking. We will have researches to help, but you need to be able to walk the walk and talk the talk!
Another example:
If you were thrown out of an airplane, would you die from freezing, lack of oxygen, or hitting the ground....we will test the theory with a mock set up...fun, right?
Rate: up to $3500 for the pilot episode, we anticipate this going into a 13 episode series where you can renegotiate. We also anticipate this being a hit show, where you will be the talk of the town and do the PR circut.
prefer LA but are open to other states.
