What kind of bugs?
a) We use the following: Hissing roaches, dubia roaches, waxworms, superworms, snails, crickets, beetles, earthworms, and hornworms
b) We are looking for models who wouldn't be concerned with any of these types of insects.
c) If you aren't able to handle all of these, we can only offer $50/hr.
How long are the videos? What type of videos will I be doing?
a) You will be working for a producer which means you will be asked to do a large variety of videos depending on the goal of the assignment and the video ideas that need to be carried out. All videos will however remain in the domain of bug crushing and feet.
b) You can see a sample assignment by copying the link below:

Are they alive?
We do not currently work with vegans at this time.
What type of model are you looking for?
We are looking for someone who is dependable, reliable, accountable, and doesn't make excuses. You need at least a minimal work ethic. These are the requirements you'd need to maintain any normal dayjob. We feel that ghosting, poor communication, and excessive excuses indicate poor character; the latter attributes would make someone impossible to work with in even the most casual context. We do not ask a lot, and want a simple and professional exchange between our models and us.
How do I get paid?
Models get paid via Paypal, Cashapp, or Zelle. We pay bi-weekly or weekly depending on the model's preference. If you are a seller please understand that while we understand your fear of scammers, Dream Crush has already established itself over the last 12 years with interviews, a clipstore, active models whom can vouch for us, active social media, and a website.
How would it take an entire hour to step on bugs?!
a) These videos do not progress in the same way as if you saw a bug in your house. It is not a quick stomp and done. These insects are large and the goal is to continuously smash the bug until it is pulverized rather than simply dead. This alone extends the videos tremendously. The videos are also lengthened by other things such as posing, sole displays, positioning, exposition, pile crushing, and the general slow pace that will naturally occur.
b) You can see examples below with smaller bugs to further prove that this takes longer than imagined:
Can I crush fruit or something else for Dream Crush?
No
Do I get pay raises?
We are excessively generous to models who work well with us, follow directions, and are punctual. Simply by doing this you can expect a payraise every other week along with bonuses for good performance at each payout.
Do I get to wear shoes or does it have to be barefoot?
Years of experience tells us if you can only do this in shoes than it means you likely cannot handle the insects at all which would necessarily prohibit you from doing this. It would also indicate that you are scared of insects, which defeats the purpose of our videos. All this notwithstanding, we are looking for models who can step on bugs barefoot and in shoes.
How do I sign up?
a.) Signup is a straightforward process
i.) You must sign a model release and furnish ID as is legally required in order to verify age and your agreement to model.
ii.) After this, you will be given a short crash course on how to step on bugs, set up your camera, and position yourself.
iii.) You will then be asked for the payment information so we can send your payouts and a picture of the shoes you have
iv.) Lastly, you will be given your first assignment
b.) You will also need to add us on Instagram, Discord, or Telegram so we can communicate with you and coordinate assignments.
Where do the bugs come from?
The bugs are ordered online. There are many vendors that sell them as live food for reptiles, frogs, and monitor lizards.
Do I have to travel?
No. You’d be filming yourself under our directive.
