Self-described "talent discovery company" bBooth Inc. announced it is bringing "Hollywood to your hometown" through a nationwide talent discovery platform consisting of partially self-service mall kiosk audio-video recording studios that the company is deploying in high-traffic common areas of shopping malls throughout the U.S. The bBooth kiosks allow anyone to audition for reality television shows or movies, or just create fun videos to share with friends and family on bBooth's YouTube channels and on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other popular social media platforms.

"We're giving everyday people from all walks of life an opportunity to follow their dreams - to bSeen, to bHeard and to bDiscovered," bBooth founder and CEO Rory J. Cutaia said in the announcement. "We're also giving casting directors, production companies and entertainment executives seeking to discover talent, access to people they otherwise might never see."

The bBooth is designed as a destination for mall patrons to enjoy bBooth performances heard and displayed on the large, portrait-oriented, 80-inch video monitors affixed on the exterior of bBooths. These giant displays also serve as electronic digital signage billboards providing targeted messaging opportunities for bBooth national sponsors.

Complimenting what is expected to be a nationwide bBooth retail operation, the company said, it is launching a fully-integrated mobile app platform designed for iPhones, iPads, Androids, Macs and PCs, to create an active community of bBooth users and their followers, each of whom can share and market their video-recorded performances for fun and profit.
