Polk County Florida Production Company Casting 2010 Census Commercials

Dec. 30, 2009 - PRLog -- (Champions Gate FL, 12/29/2009) With the 2010 Census set to kickoff in February, a Polk county production company is creating a series of locally-based ads featuring county residents and landmarks. The ads are designed to help educate residents about the importance of participation in the Census and encourage everyone to be counted.

The shooting will take place in various locations throughout Polk county beginning on January 16 and ending January 20. Any resident of Polk county is eligible to participate.

"We are looking for people of all types, not just models and actors," says Madison Paige, the company's producer in charge of the census project. "We want these commercials will be a real reflection of the diversity and strengths of the people of our county. We're casting people from ages 3 to 80 or even older!"

The commercials will be produced in English and Spanish and the company encourages people of all ages, races and physical abilities to participate.

"It's going to be great fun. It's also a great way to do something to improve our county."

Polk county receives $1500 in federal funding for every resident counted. The numbers collected by the census guide such things as funding for roads, schools, job training programs and senior services. Many non-profits rely on the census numbers for grants and most businesses examine census data when evaluating whether to open stores in specific cities. Residents who wish to participate are encouraged to apply by going to OasisMediaProductions.com/census.htm as soon as possible. No prior experience is necessary.

For questions about the project that are not answered on the website, please call 877-460-7700.
