'Hills' Producer Eyes Local High Schools

A new reality show that will document the lives of eight teenagers hopes to pick a cast from either , Santa Monica or Pacific Palisades high school, the show's casting director said Wednesday.

Flyers for Our Summer, which comes from executive producer of The Hills and The City, began circulating on Facebook and other sites on Monday.

The show will seek to document the lives of eight students as they head off to enjoy summer vacation. The documentary series will use social media, such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other sites, to document the student's experience, according to Shaggy Bajrami, casting director for the project.

"Producers will encourage them to communicate on their social media platforms about what the audience is watching unfold on the series itself," she said.

Bajrami said she's also looking at several private schools in West Los Angeles. The project will shoot over the summer, not on school campuses. The intent is to capture the beach culture in Los Angeles, Bajrami said.

"The whole thing depends on the most amazing personalities," Bajrami said.

Only students from one high school will likely make the final cut, she said, adding that she is looking for juniors and seniors. The show also welcomes parental involvement.

She added that the concept of the show is to explore what happens in the summer after school ends, including what happens to relationships, education and jobs.

Anyone interested should send their name, phone number, a photo and a short blurb on why they should be on the show to OurSummerCasting@gmail.com.
