(FEB 2) WBAN has been contacted by MTV "MADE" in regards to a show they will be doing.   

Casting Director Tori Asness told WBAN the following: "I am the casting director for the series MADE on MTV. This is basically a make your wish come true program, where we follow high school students that have a dream or a goal they want to achieve.  We are doing an episode of MADE in Tampa Florida about a feminine girl who would like to box. We are looking for a woman boxer or boxing coach who would want to work on the show.

Press release MTV’s “MADE”

MTV’s hit series “MADE” is all about making dreams come true. We want to demonstrate that with hard work (and a little help from MTV) any goal is attainable.

There are numerous kids out there with unlimited potential. However, in their eyes, intimidating obstacles exist that keep them from pursuing their dreams. Perhaps they’re painfully shy or fall short on self-confidence. Maybe they don’t think they’re cool enough or lack the right look. Perhaps they’ve been told they lack the skills. And then there’s plain old fear.

We seek out the kids who are eager to overcome those obstacles! These kids want to be MADE.

Once MTV finds our “subjects,” we allow for at least one month of intensive training towards achieving their goals. This includes providing a mentor or life coach who will support them and plot out personalized training schedules. Such training could consist of counseling on confidence or attitude, personal training sessions or specialized lessons in whatever task they’re trying to achieve.

Whether they succeed at their goal or not, we strive to give these kids a chance at a dream. Ideally, they learn valuable traits and lessons about themselves and others along the way. They ultimately realize that it takes hard work, persistence and commitment to make one’s dreams come true.

Let’s Get Made!
