A casting call for large Canadian retailer photoshoot is paying Toronto families up to $6,000

A well-known Canadian retailer is holding a content photoshoot, and they’ve put out a casting call for families to partake in it in Toronto. The gig pays big bucks, too!

“We are looking for REAL families of all sizes and makeups from single parents or two parent families with one or more kids,” a representative from MiLO Casting told Daily Hive over email. Grandparents are welcome, too.

The casting agency is looking for same-sex families, single-parent families, and families “of all abilities” who enjoy spending time together.

Prior acting experience is not necessary, and depending on the number of family members book, each family could be paid between $4,000 to $6,000. Applicants can be from anywhere in Ontario, as long as they’re able to come to Toronto.
