The Scandinavian TV company Metronome is now casting Dutch women, 28-60 years old, who currently live here in the Los Angeles region for a documentary show that will be aired in Holland. The casting auditions take place in L.A.
The TV series "Dutch Hollywood Wives" is a fun and inspiring documentary about Dutch women living interesting lives in Los Angeles and its outskirts. The TV series has recently finished its first season in Sweden where the name was "Swedish Hollywood Wives," and, due to massive popularity of the show, Metronome is now producing "Dutch Hollywood Wives."
(Check out "Swedish Hollywood Wives" by following the links at www.fridaytv.se)
Candidates must have an interesting personality, be fun, dramatic, glamorous and open-minded, and can be themselves on camera and are not afraid to speak up if needed. They are not ashamed of their beautiful homes, luxury cars, and posh accessories. They might work, but not because they need to, but more because they enjoy keeping busy, and love a big challenge. Their daily lives could consist of being a good mother and/or wife, or simply just being passionate about a small side-job or charity work.
If you are from Holland and feel you could be a good candidate for this TV series, or can recommend someone, please contact: Mattias Ljungqvist at (323) 938-9081 or email at: mattias.ljungqvist@fridaytv.se.
