CASTING CALL – INDIE MUSIC VIDEO

We are seeking a young woman (18+) to appear in an upcoming music video.

She came into Tameron’s life when he had almost nothing else. Music was his escape, his anchor and then there was her. She listened when he played, stayed when the shows ran long, and made the silence feel less heavy. He didn’t have a big world, but with those two things, it felt like enough. Until, the end of the world happened and now, she's just a memory...
