Here's a recent email I've received from a Casting Director in New York. They are actively looking for both homeowners and contractors who are having problems with their remodeling projects. So if you think you fit the bill - whether you're a homeowner or a contractor - contact them. They need some folks to work with so don't hesitate to contact them.

Hi, I just took a look at your site and it is a really helpful resource. I am a casting director for superfine films and we are casting a show that deals with home owners and contractors. I was hoping you might know some families that are in need of help. Thanks in advance for all of your help.

CASTING CALL FOR HOMEOWNERS AND CONTRACTORS IN DISPUTE My name is Michael Raptis and I am the Casting Director for Superfine Films. We are a TV production company based out of New York City. I am looking to cast Homeowners and Contractors for a home renovation dispute mediation and resolution TV show. Most of the homeowners and contractors that cross your path would love the opportunity that our TV show offers. I am seeking out current disputes that I might be able to help resolve to the satisfaction of both parties. Could you share with me some leads? The scope and breadth of the dispute can range from any of the problems you usually see including, but not limited to, type of work, budget, build problems, personal problems, and homeowner changes. Since we are a television show, we MUST complete the project in a relatively short amount of time (about 6 days), which will fit nicely with the needs of a homeowner and contractor. This means we seek projects that are large enough in scope to show a good "before" and "after" experience, and small enough in scope to be finished in no more than about three weeks.

Some examples would be a kitchen expansion, new room, bathroom remodel, garage build, etc. Please keep in mind that we will consider all sizes of work if the people and the project appear good for the show. We intend to make absolutely sure that the dispute is solved to the satisfaction of both parties and that the project gets done right, on time and on budget. It should be a benefit for the homeowner via dispute resolution and project management, and for the contractor for the same reasons as well as excellent publicity for his or her business. And of course, it could save them both the time and cost of legal action. Interested parties should contact me immediately! The sooner we speak, the sooner we can try to resolve these disputes! Please call or email me ASAP!
