Are you a team player who takes direction well and is outgoing but works well with others?Also are you punctual, reliable and oh by the way, a very good swimmer who can pretend to drown? Well do we have the gig for you!
“Actresses” who feel the urge for some “acting” experience need look no further than Craigslist, which is a hotbed of activity for budding creatives who require help at very little (read: no) pay. So to be fair, this ad out of the Chicago area, while funny, is not particularly unique. That being said, enjoy and please, support the arts:
“Actresses” from 25-40 (North Shore suburbs)
Short, simple independent film requiring 2 – 3 shoots only.
Must start soon in order to take advantage of the warm weather. One scene involves a swimming pool.

Hope to hear from you soon
