TV Casting Call for International Students
Being an international student has many perks: you get a great education, emerged in a new culture, and sometimes become eligible for cool casting calls (like this one). If you’re an international student graduating December 2019 or May 2020 and are currently in a relationship with a US citizen, OR a former international student who married a US citizen - don’t miss your chance to be on TV. A new documentary series on a major cable network is looking for couples; if you match their requirements submit your details to apply to be on their show!
