In a media release, Nifty 16 Productions LLC and Kaplan Bonner Inc jointly announce reportedly the first virtual open casting call to place not disabled and disabled actors in the upcoming silver screen production of “Tough Sledding.”
Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the virtual casting call is in lieu of in-person auditions. The movie production is slated to begin filming August 2020.
