An Excuse To Sloppily Make Out In Public

We’ve been through this before. Part of having style is having class. Having class definitely does not include dressing up in the most outrageous outfit in your closet, heading to a public place and then making out with the person of your choice.

Unless it’s for the greater good.

This Sunday, do a solid for your city by showing up to LOVE Park at 11am and kissing till your lips hurt. The Philadelphia Department of Tourism is filming a commercial featuring lots of lip action and you (yes, you!) can be in it. Best part: They encourage wacky outfits.

Full release after the jump.

THIS SUNDAY February 8th. The commercial is for the “Stay Over in Philly” campaign and commissioned by the Philadelphia Department of Tourism and produced and directed by Ted Passon and All Ages Productions.

This commercial is for a new push of the campaign with a special Valentine’s Day twist. The filming takes place in LOVE Park and starts on one couple meeting at the Park. They immediately start kissing each other. The camera moves and we see another couple meeting and kissing . The camera continues to move and we see another kissing couple and another until we see a ridiculous number of couples all meeting and kissing at LOVE Park, as if everyone in Center City just stopped what they were doing and started making out with each other.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Come and makeout in LOVE Park for the commercial!

WHAT: Looking for couples (all races, ages, genders, etc. the more the merrier!) to make out on camera in LOVE Park.
Feel free to come as you are or in costume! We are looking for a wide range of outfits and looks including:

• Business professionals (suits)
• Bike messengers
• City Workers
• Police
• Park Rangers
• Students
• Rollerbladers

WHERE: LOVE Park 15th and JFK in Philadelphia

WHEN: THIS SUNDAY Feb. 8, 11am-3pm

Because of the complicated nature of the shot (a single minute-long moving take) it may take up to four hours to rehearse and execute. If all goes well it will take less time. If you want to be in the commercial you need to be on time.

HOW: Just show up at LOVE Park at 15th and JFK on SUNDAY February 8th at 11:00am and register and you are in the commercial!

ALL Participants will be notified when the commercial is online and will be sent a link.

If there are any questions please contact: Ted Passon, ted@allagesproductions.com
