Live Aboard and Want to Be on Television?

February 21 - New York, NY

Normally we don't do 'Lectronic on holidays, but the casting producer of a program to feature a family that lives aboard called and asked if we could get this out right away. Knowing how many people dream of being semi-famous, we agreed. Here's the pitch:

"ABC Television is looking for families to participate in an exciting new series that celebrates the modern American family. This highly respected, observational documentary style show has 10 million plus viewers each week. The show has two mothers exchange families, so that both can explore another family's values and lifestyle, and share their perspective too. The format was conceived in the UK four years ago and has already won numerous awards and is currently being nominated for many more. Oprah and Barbara Walter's The View, both on ABC, have featured our guests.

"I am a Casting Producer on this program," says Stefanie Ring, "and we are looking for a family that lives aboard their boat/yacht or a marina family. This family must consist of two parents and have at least one child living at home with the parents. Anyone interested should call or email me directly. You are in no way under any obligation to participate once you have contacted me; it would just be an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and please give me a call or write should you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to hearing from you." Call Stefanie Ring at (212) 404-1428.
