More Info:

• Who are we?
We're Ovo (ovoland.com), a NYC production company, and half of us were born, raised and went to Prom in Racine. We made the documentary "The World's Best Prom" about Racine's incredible prom experience (worldsbestprom.com).

• What are we doing now?
We've had interest from MTV about turning our documentary about Racine Prom into a reality show about teen life in Racine. We're calling it Racine Teen:
We're looking for Racine Sophomores and Juniors to be potential stars of the cast of our reality show.

• What are you doing with this info and video?
We're going to select the people we're most interested in as potential cast members and include their info and video in a casting video to show MTV and other network executives. If they decide to produce show, then someone may contact you about deciding if you (with parent/guardian approvals) want to be a part of the show. We will not release the info to anyone other than potential producers of the show.
