lummox Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 i gots the following fukin email. maybes some of yous lot reckon you got the tribal stuff. my feelings on the subject are that it aint cool to go and kick ass all over the world. again. talk about imperializm. just being humble and tryin to lose my self-importance like the dolly llama says. werd. My name is John Schultz, and I’m the casting producer on a brand new show produced by BBC called Tribal Games. Honestly, this show is going to be an unbelievable experience for everyone involved. The basic premise of the series is to take 6 extremely fit, outgoing sportsmen to some of the most challenging indigenous sporting contests around the world. The selected contestants will live with the tribal communities prior to the event, train with them, and be taught by them. For example, our team of 6 "sporting adventurers" might go to Tajikistan to take part in Buzkashi, a game where horsebacked riders wrestle over a goat, or the team might go to the Amazon to join Amazonian Indians in the indigenous spear throwing, running, and canoeing contests. They will compete against the locals but also against each other. I'm now in the process of looking for extremely charismatic, outgoing sportsmen who will thrive on these kinds of adventure based challenges. We want to get a complete cross section of skills and background represented in our team. I was hoping you might be able to help me find the best possible characters - who are also fantastic sportspeople thirsty for a challenge - to take part in the series. Here is the advert below - if you’ve got any publications or websites that you could post the blurb on, that would be absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for you help - please don't hesitate to give me a call if you have any questions. J O H N S C H U L T Z | casting producer | bbc ny production | T: 212.219.0709 - x21 Tribal Games – Are YOU up to the challenge of a lifetime? BBC Television is looking for the fittest, boldest male adventurers to compete in 8 of the most challenging competitions in the macho world of tribal sport. If you've got what it takes to race across mountains with indigenous Indians in Mexico, wrestle with fierce Nuba wrestlers in Sudan, compete in traditional stone lifting challenges in Tahiti, or take part in fire throwing contests in the Northern Territories of Australia, this your chance! If you're over 18 and have a sports skill, OR you know someone else who you think would be perfect for this program, please email John Schultz at JSchultz@bbcnyproduction.com for an application form as soon as possible (closing date Feb 3rd, 2006). This will be an absolutely amazing experience! Thanks and GOOD LUCK!!! Quote
