Casting call for new reality show in NYC featuring blind people

From KPI:

KPI, an Emmy-winning production company in New York City, is looking for characters for an exciting new reality television series.

“Sightless in the City” will be an insightful and positive look at how blind people go about their busy lives in New York City.

We're looking for a range of people of all ages and races, including families, adults, children, young professionals. We want characters that have active lives, big personalities and a positive attitude towards their disability. They should have the confidence to be around the cameras and the desire to tell their story.

We will film daily life, whether that is at home, at work, buying groceries, taking the kids to school or riding the subway. We might follow other characters as they pursue big dreams, such as training for a marathon, planning a wedding or attending college.

We are also keen to speak to families with young children where a parent, child or several family members are blind.
