Calling all American looking people!

Armenia TV is producing a commercial for an insurance company and they need extras.

They need people who look Americanish. Physical appearance is not as important as having the right attire ... shorts, sneakers, backpacks, bandanas, walkmans, and all that American kinda stuff.

The shoot will only take one day (sometime in the next couple of weeks), on the outskirts of Yerevan (Vahakni Residential District.) Once finished, it will be aired on Armenia TV in Armenia as well as Armenia TV's satellite for viewers outside of Armenia (including the USA.)

If you're in Yerevan, you wanna be in a commercial, and can use some pocket change, write to Vahe at vahe@armeniatv.am. Casting is taking place early next week.

So this commercial is to be marketed to an Armenian audience? tape it in Armenia? and Armenians are to be used in the ad/commercial, but only if they look "American" and all of the above has a "western" feel? Am I blowing it out of proportion or is that kind of a shame? Maybe I am.
Is this commercial to be aired only in Armenia and is the Insurance company Armenia based or Armo owed and operated??? I'm just curious guys, that's all.

commercial is more for the diaspora than locals and might not even be aired in Armenia.

the setting is supposed to resemble a North American residential community.
