This might interest me, but do we know anything about the person who sent the casting call in the first place?  I think I'd like more details before deciding whether I'd want to be involved or not. . .

If I had to guess, it would be like every other reality show where you have to drop your life and go do what they tell you to do.

I would like to see individuals interested in this approach these
people as such, individuals, or as a separate entity from Makers
Local.  It's one thing to say you all met at your local hackerspace
but it's another to represent the organization (possibly) on national
television without the consent of the organization as a whole.
There's isn't a group wide interest in this.  Not everyone wants to
work around camera crews and it's not fair to ask everyone to do so.
