Casting

Casting will look for typical Americans of 2015.  That means our families will be ill-equipped to handle what they’re about to experience.  They’ll be addicted to tech, unfamiliar with the great outdoors, used to boneless, skinless chicken breasts in Styrofoam trays (when they cook from scratch, that is), and ultra-reliant on convenience foods and the family mini-van.  

When they get off the plane, these hapless high-tech consumers will be dropped into a virtual 1933, where they’ll hand over their suitcases full of fast fashion, their laptops and smart phones, and even their soap, toothpaste, and deodorant!

We'll be looking for young families with kids - up to 4 in a family - between the ages of 6 and 15.  Our cast should reflect America as we are today - not terribly fit, addicted to gadgets and tech, unfamiliar with animal husbandry, gardening, or living without access to salty crunchy junk food.

The ideal cast is 4 or 5 suburban families from a range of backgrounds.  What they'll share in common is a reliance on modern infrastructure and a complete lack of background in gardening, cooking, animal husbandry, or real old-fashioned hard physical labor.  Think....

• Soccer moms who live their minivans
• Geeky gaming dads
• Tubby soda-gulping couch potatoes
• Tech-addicted tweens
• Fast-food aficionados with the Domino's emoji order app on their iPhones
• Shopaholic mall-rats
• Gadget addicts

In short - in 2015 America, there'll be an embarrassment of choice!
