Casting
Call - Made in the U.S.A. 3/10/05
USA Network Casting Inventors of All Ages For New Original
Reality/Competition Series
'Made in the U.S.A.' Begins Four-City Casting Call on March 18
Applications Now Being Accepted!
Have you ever said to yourself, "Why didn't I think of
that?" USA Network, in association with the TV shopping network
HSN, is looking for people who think they have a revolutionary
invention, but need that one big break to get their product out in
the market. "Made in the U.S.A." is television's newest
and most ingenious reality program where America's inventors and
entrepreneurs get the opportunity to turn their dreams and passions
into reality.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to polish and pitch your
product for the chance to have it sold live on HSN. Contestants will
participate in competitions, facing real-life challenges that
inventors deal with in getting their product out to the public. Each
week, products and inventors will be eliminated until the ultimate
payoff when one lucky inventor team wins a contract with HSN.
Come meet with a casting producer at one of our open calls. Open
calls are currently scheduled for the following cities and dates:
