Big Sky is currently in post-production on the reality based T.V. show “Casting Call” which recently wrapped filming.  This show is innovative and groundbreaking in the movie industry and will be a major catalyst for driving the exposure and sales for “Spring Break ’83,” the feature film. “Casting Call” is hosted by comedian Dan Levy and features celebrity judges Joe Piscopo, Morgan Fairchild, and Adrian Zmed.  The winners have been chosen and will appear in the movie in scenes to be shot when filming is resumed shortly. Much like how the success of NBC’s reality casting T.V. show “Grease, You’re the One,” which has generated $14.2 million in advance ticket sales (just in New York alone) and created an enormous fan base for the new Broadway production, “Casting Call” looks to catapult “Spring Break ’83,” the movie, into millions of Americans’ living rooms prior to the movie being released.  We feel that this will have a profound, positive impact on box office and DVD sales as well as all other ancillary markets.
