Comments
The videos depict a series of patient-facing scenarios designed to train staff on handling emotionally complex interactions — including anxious patients, aggressive visitors, and de-escalation situations. The tone is realistic, grounded, and empathetic. This is not a dramatized or heightened production; performances should feel naturalistic and true-to-life.
All content will be used exclusively in the healthcare company's internal communications.
Talent will be self-styled; HMU will be available on set
— Physical confrontation: One scene involves a character (Austin) getting physically close to a nurse in an intimidating way and knocking folders out of her hand. This will be choreographed and safety-managed on set.
— Emotionally intense material: Scenarios include depictions of patient anxiety, implied domestic tension, and a verbally aggressive patient.
— Naturalistic performance style: All performances should feel real and understated.

Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | GABI (Nurse #1) | Female 30 - 50 Years old |
Description All Ethnicities. Warm and grounded presence. Gabi is a nurse working the station and front desk. She's the emotional center of thepiece — professional and practiced, but genuinely warm. She handles an anxious patient on the phone, navigates a tense patient room situation with a verbally aggressive visitor, and builds rapport with a difficult patient who later apologizes. OPEN TO REAL NURSES. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | DYLAN (Nurse #2) | Male 30 - 50 Years old |
Description All Ethnicities. Steady and unrattled demeanour. Dylan works the hospital front desk and appears in two primary storylines: handling awalk-in patient demanding an MRI, and providing backup support to Gabi in a patient room confrontation. He also has a direct-to-camera reflective monologue at the end of the script — the only moment of this kind in the piece. OPEN TO REAL NURSES. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | SAMIRA (Patient #1) | Female 28 - 38 Years old |
Description All Ethnicities. Anxious, nervous, navigates a difficult husband. Samira is a patient who first appears in a split-screen phone call, calling to schedule an appointment after a concerning test result. She later appears in a hospital bed, accompanied by her husband Austin, whose behaviour in the room is aggressive and dismissive toward her. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | AUSTIN (#1 Partner) | Male 30 - 40 Years old |
Description All Ethnicities. Samira's husband, dismissive and confrontational, physically aggressive. He appears only in the patient room scenarios, where he is dismissive and contemptuous toward Samira and becomes verbally and physically aggressive toward Gabi. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | JAY (Patient #2) | Male 45 - 65 Years old |
Description All Ethnicities. Gruff and irritable, able to portray physical pain and remorse. Jay is a patient with chronic back pain who first walks into the hospital demanding a walk-in MRI. He is gruff, frustrated, and quickly becomes verbally aggressive — yelling at Dylan and slamming his hands on the counter. He returns the next day with an appointment, and in a quieter scene, apologizes for his earlier behaviour and opens up about what the pain has been doing to him. | ||
