Online Film Casting Call from MySpace and Paramount Vantage

by MovieMaker Staff | Published June 6, 2007

You think you got the moves to stand out in a MySpace crowd? Prove it!

Paramount Vantage and MySpace have partnered to create the first ever, online film casting call. Three grand prize winners will have their on-camera debut in Paramount Vantageâ€™s major motion picture, How She Move.

Three (3) lucky grand prize winners will be flown out to the Toronto movie set on an all-expense-paid trip to meet the cast and be in a major scene in the film. Submit your photo now to http://www.myspace.com/howshemove.

Entrants will submit photos from their profiles to the filmâ€™s dedicated MySpace profile - http://myspace.com/howshemove. Producers of the film will then choose three winners, who will be flown out to the movie set to meet the cast and participate in the filming of a major scene.

Winners will have the opportunity to film behind-the-scenes footage on the set. The winnerâ€™s footage will be professionally edited by Paramount Vantage and posted on the filmâ€™s MySpace profile and the winnerâ€™s profile. The contest will run through 6/11/07 and rules will be posted on MySpace.

Paramount Vantageâ€™s director of interactive marketing, Bladimiar Norman said, â€œThe partnership with MySpace is not only an exciting opportunity to offer three people the chance of a lifetime, but also an innovative way to build awareness of the film within its target audience.â€

â€œThis is the first time MySpace has partnered with a major motion picture to allow our users the chance to win a walk-on role,â€ said Josh Brooks, vice president of content and programming for MySpace. â€œMySpace is the perfect platform to spread excitement for the film and offer our users a unique casting opportunity for How She Move.â€

The film centers on a high school student who is forced to leave her private school to return to her old, crime-filled neighborhood, where she rekindles her passion for step dancing. When she enters an international step competition in hopes of changing her destiny, she learns that winning may come at a price. The film is scheduled for release in early 2008.
