Jigsaw Casting Ltd. Is Looking For People With Down Syndrome For an Upcoming PSA for CDSS!

Roles

1. Adults with Down Syndrome – Ages 18+. Fun, friendly, and outgoing, with big personalities that light up the room. Comfortable on camera, and able to deliver short lines with confidence. Must be okay saying a curse word or two, but it’ll be in a fun, positive way – not angry or demeaning.
2. Kids/Teens with Down Syndrome – Ages 10 to 14. Fun, friendly, and outgoing, with big personalities that light up the room. Comfortable on camera, and able to deliver short lines with confidence. No swearing involved.
