Read the DISCLAIMER (in small print at the bottom of the page.) It
reads, in part:

"TONTINE Productions, LLC (“Producer”) is holding nationwide casting
calls for a production presently entitled “TONTINE” and based upon a
reality contest (“Contest”) with the chance to win up to $10,000,000
(“Prize Money”). There is no guarantee of prize money or that someone
will actually win prize money."

and...

"Out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Participants for travel to any
Casting Call location and for attendance at the Casting Call shall be
limited to $20.00. Participants who spend more than $20.00 in such
expenses shall be ineligible to participate in the Casting Call, the
Contest, and TONTINE."

That is weird. I'm sure there is some legal reason (lawyer are so annoying)
why you have to tell people that they can't get their money back for what
amounts to a 'job interview', but who knows?
