Reality TV

Auditions for Cardia Films "High Concept" Reality TV series pitch are scheduled for 4th Feb 2012. Currently searching for a male Celebrity Host.

It's not just another Reality TV show about models, this one has a twist.

Can't say much about it at this stage so you'll have to wait until the auditions are done, the pilot has been made and we've pitched to the TV Stations.
