Commercial 1
Synopsis/special note:
This spot is called "Freak Show" for a reason. We want the real, authentic and believable. The ferocious, tenacious, weird and hardcore. Real
people, not actors, who live and breathe this tough fitness lifestyle. It’s not unusual to see big, unruly beards or tats. They’re not cookie-cutter
athletes. And they’re not all ultra alpha, muscle-bound machines. Some will surely be elite athletes and physical specimens. But others would
appears as ordinary as your friend, colleague or neighbor, who would surprise you with their inner strength and intensity which comes out when
they work out. Our athletes come from different and varied backgrounds, live different lives, but all share the same burning drive and desire to
improve themselves. To be better humans.
Looking for Vancouver's elite CrossFitter's and all the technical aspects of the moves we’ll be asking them to do. The same goes for Spartan
Racing, Yoga, Les Mills and tough running.

TIRE FLIPPER - Husband
Male - Any Ethnicity - Early 50s - OCP
Have a passion and joy for living. Their bodies and faces speak of a life that’s been lived, and with a lot more living to do. Pushing themselves, their bodies and their limits is what
keeps them young in heart, mind and spirit. In the man (who we mainly focus on) there’s a real grit and toughness. He’s the type of guy who never shies from hard work or a
challenge and has seen his share.
Please denote any CrossFit, Spartan Racing, Yoga, Les Mills, or any physical training your client is experienced with.

face do all the talking.
Real firefighters a major plus! Please denote.
SQUATS/BARBELL MOM IN AQUATIC CENTER
Female - Any Ethnicity - 30s-40s - OCP
Another woman whose toughness and wild determination wouldn’t be readily apparent until she steps into a box. And while she’s a gritty and fearless CrossFitter, her toughness
in the gym is only matched by her tireless compassion outside it. And the enthusiasm and support she gives to her wheelchair bound son as she cheers him on and helps him out
of the pool.

YOGA MAN
Male - Hispanic - 20s-30s - OCP
Athletic, fit and intensely focused. Must be a certified yoga instructor, capable of highly advanced and extreme yoga positions. He’s a dedicated father. Humble and respectful. But
also a man who marches to the beat of his own drum. Who refuses to be defined by the color of his skin or the neighborhood he grew up in. His friends and neighbors don’t get it.

FEMALE DANCER
Female - Any Ethnicity - 20s-30s - OCP

us the flag pole move on camera as it’s a difficult move and different people can execute in different ways.

ELDERLY NEIGHBOURS
Male - Any Ethnicity - 70s-80s - FBG
This pair of friends and old timers have lived in the neighborhood longer than anyone. They’ve seen everything and know everyone. They typically spend their days in their lawn

thing, well, it’s just plain peculiar.
