If there is one thing that people did during the lockdown, it was picking up new hobbies. Whether it was building a puzzle, knitting or baking some bread, Ontarians gained tons of new skills.

Now, a new Ontario casting call is willing to pay you and your friends the big bucks just to talk honestly about your experiences coping with pandemic life.

According to Groundglass Casting, the project, which is looking exclusively for real individuals, couples and families, will be a documentary video focusing on how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed people's perspective on life or what they find important.

This includes being willing to talk about any new hobbies or skills that you may have picked up over the past years.

"We are seeking people, including couples and families, who changed their perspective on life or what they find important during the pandemic. This could have been finding or nurturing a hobby/passion, prioritizing friends or family, or even just having a new perspective on life," read the listing.

There is no specific deadline for submissions, but individuals will be notified by August 31 if they made the cut, so anyone interested should apply as soon as possible.

If you are chosen, you will need to be available for filming between September 25 and October 9.
