Commercial 1
Public health training video series depicting scenarios wherein residents of a rehabilitation facility interact with staff members. 2 versions of each scenario will be staged: In version 1, staff members who haven't been trained in trauma-informed care cause negative interactions in residents. In version 2, staff members who have been trained in trauma-informed care have more positive interactions with residents.

The script is narrator-driven, so the performers won’t be asked to deliver written lines. They will be prompted to mime or ad-lib lines for the camera, but mostly the audio won’t be used. Sound will be recorded so the option of using occasional sound-ups in post-production is retained, but the narrator’s voice will dominate. Improv experience is a plus.

Non-union performers willing to work on full buy-out terms only. Filming is to take place on weekend days in late April due to location availability. Must be able to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination status.
