casting for people addicted to aquariums
I'm currently casting for a documentary tv series that profiles individuals with hobbies that have turned into obsessions/addictions. If you're aquarium addiction is impacting your life, consider participating in this series. It's psychologically based, and will look at how and why you are obsessed with aquariums. We'll also see what your friends/family have to say about the addiction. We would travel to you, so you wouldn't have to go anywhere! if you'd be interested in participating or hearing more info, please email me at [email protected] thanks!—Guest 20west
