Looking for NYC area sleep stories (PAID video project)

Post by StrickmanRipps » Tue May 26, 2015 11:47 am

Hello,

Strickman-Ripps (http://www.strickman-ripps.com) is NYC based casting company that specializes in finding "real people" for commercials, web videos and print advertisements. We are currently seeking individuals in the NYC area who have struggled with sleep disorders or sleep problems to share their stories for an upcoming video project.

Those who are selected will be featured in a video project and PAID for their participation.

We are looking for people to share their story for our video project, this is not a sleep study and there is no treatment component to the project.

To submit, fill out our quick and easy online questionnaire:
http://www.jotformpro.com/form/51386446599976

Those who are selected to participate would be invited to do an on-camera interview session in late June or during the month of July (2015).

Please feel free to pass this information along to anyone that you think may be interested.


Thanks, and talk to you soon!

Hi there,

It's neither, actually. ; ) It's more of a creative testimonial? They want people who can to talk about their post-treatment dreams. It'll be a fun and easy project for anyone who likes talking about their dreams!

Post treatment dreams as in sleep dreams, or aspirations of success, etc. in the real future?

It's definitely NOT reality television, it's an online film that will be sponsored by a major brand, however we are not asking anyone to endorse anything or give us any specifics about their treatment.

Julie, we need real people to talk about their sleep dreams, not their aspirations. ; )

Oops. Never mind. I just read this part:

I am not actually "real." I'm only an "Internet personality."

Which I think is another name for "troll," isn't it?

I'll be on tour cross-country from June 26 to July 13 anyway.

Hope I don't get altitude sickness driving over the Rockies through RMNP.

Jeff,

We love trolls! I've been trying to get our clients to name the rate for a week, but the number has to be approved. It's an for the web, so it's likely to be a couple hundred dollars, not thousands. You sound like a character though, which makes my job so much more interesting! Please, please, please just fill out our questionnaire -- the shoot date is most likely flexible. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at research@strickman-ripps.com.

Best,

Gina

Q: Is it possible to have character and be a character at the same time?

A: Yes, but the representation of it on film could turn out to be an uncharacteristic caricature.

I only perform live or where I get approval rights on final cut. Just me.
