Synopsis:

***MUST HAVE INTERNATIONAL ACCENTS*** We are seeking a compelling duo to lead a travel documentary (short form episode) exploring the enduring legacy, cultural impact, and mythology of Route 66 — the iconic roadway that has come to symbolize freedom, adventure, reinvention, and the American spirit around the world. This cinematic documentary follows two international travelers as they journey through the landscapes, communities, roadside landmarks, and local stories that continue to define the Route 66 experience. Filming will take place throughout Tulsa, Oklahoma and Albuquerque, New Mexico, capturing both the nostalgia and modern-day relevance of one of America’s most legendary roads. The project centers on discovery, connection, and shared experience. Whether a real-life couple, close friends, co-hosts, siblings, or another authentic pairing, we are looking for two individuals whose dynamic feels natural, engaging, and emotionally present on camera. Their relationship should invite audiences into the journey, creating moments that feel spontaneous, relatable, and genuine. The ideal duo possesses a strong sense of curiosity and adventure, approaching each destination not as experts, but as travelers experiencing Route 66 through the people they meet, the history they uncover, and the stories that bring the road to life. They should feel comfortable engaging with locals, exploring unfamiliar places, and embracing the unexpected moments that make travel meaningful. We are seeking individuals with warmth, charisma, strong interpersonal chemistry, and an authentic appreciation for cultural exploration. The goal is not simply to showcase a historic highway, but to reveal the communities, characters, traditions, and spirit that have transformed Route 66 into a lasting symbol recognized across the globe. ***MUST HAVE INTERNATIONAL ACCENTS***
