NOW CASTING: On-Air Talent for a New Detroit-Based Streaming Network

Do you live and breathe Detroit culture? Do you light up when talking about food, fashion, business, music, beer, cocktails, cannabis, or the city itself?

A new video network, based in Detroit’s Eastern Market, is seeking authentic, passionate, and articulate individuals to become on-camera personalities for our upcoming lineup of original video series and mini-docs.

This is your chance to be the face of Detroit’s next great content platform.

Whether you're a bar expert, a music head, a film nerd, a business boss, or just that person everyone listens to at the party, we want to hear from you.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re casting real people with real opinions and strong voices in the following categories. You don’t need to be a professional host or actor—but you do need to be passionate, insightful, and camera-friendly.

Food, Spirits, & Beer Lovers
You know your way around a cocktail list, can compare Detroit breweries, or never shut up about your favorite dish. If you’re the person everyone asks for recommendations, this is for you.

Film & Movie Buffs
You quote your favorite directors like scripture. You’ve got a take on everything from indie docs to big-budget blockbusters—and you’re not afraid to say what you really think.

Music Fanatics
From Motown to techno, trap to jazz, you know how music moves a city. Maybe you manage a band, DJ on weekends, or just love telling people about the song they’ve never heard—but need to.

Detroit Die-Hards
You live, breathe, and ARE Detroit. You know the neighborhoods, the new spots, the hidden gems, and the deep history. You can show off the city with pride, honesty, and love.

Business Minds & Brand Builders
You're an entrepreneur, side hustler, or deal-maker. You love talking strategy, telling your startup story, or spotlighting Detroit’s rising business stars.

Cannabis Culture Enthusiasts
Whether you’re into flower, concentrates, infused dining, or just the cultural evolution of cannabis, you can break it down for newcomers and OGs alike—with class, chill, and clarity.

Style & Culture Tastemakers
Your personal style turns heads, and you view fashion as a form of storytelling. Whether you're into streetwear, vintage, or high-end design, you know what it means to have a look and a point of view.

HOW TO AUDITION

To be considered, please submit the following:

  1. A 60–90 second video of you talking directly to the camera.
    Pick one of the categories above and talk about something you're passionate about in that space. Be real. Be you. No filters, no scripts.

  2. A short written bio (1–2 paragraphs)
    Tell us who you are, what you do, and what you’re obsessed with.

  3. Any relevant links (your Instagram, TikTok, podcast, YouTube, LinkedIn—whatever gives us a feel for your vibe)

  4. Your contact info and current location
