CASTING: NYC area folks who are seeking Sleep Treatment $500

Post by StrickmanRipps » Wed Jun 03, 2015 12:54 pm

We are looking for people to share their stories about their sleep health for an upcoming video project. If you have had sleep problems and sought treatment, we want to hear from you!

Those who are selected will be featured in a video project and PAID $500 for their participation. A quick phone call and a 10 minute Skype interview is all we need to consider you for the final project. Easy peasy!

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 online questionnaire:

Please share with anyone that you think may be qualified & interested!

Did you forget that you already posted this here a few weeks ago?

But you never did say if people have to be in NYC to participate...

Hi Julie,

We are looking for people who live in the NYC area to participate. In the previous post was a bit more generic, so now we are a little more focussed on those who are in the early stages of treating their sleep disorder?

Maybe they use New York, but they are in California. That way is too far to go for the A$$ Kicking, if the check bounces, or it's just another worthless scam. Jim

We are actually based in New York City, two blocks north of the World Trade Center and our client doesn't want to fly anyone to NYC for filming, so we are searching for locals. ; )

We are very legitimate - you can see our reel at http://www.strickman-ripps.com or do a simple Google search to confirm. The company's been in business for 26+ and specializes in finding real people (non-actors) for tv commercials, online videos and print ads.

@ Goofproof: Why not use one of the vastly superior NYC film crews?

Dang. They're within walking distance. It gets more tempting.

However, I am not in the initial stages of treatment.

I'm not from NYC, but I did think Skype was a Internet thing, maybe they mean Snipe, I've played that. Jim

You are not saying who your client is. It seems like an important omission. I'm not eligible but I would not consider participating without knowing whose project this is -- an insurance company? big pharma? Any organization/company whose values are not in line with mine? Your questionnaire asks for very personal information -- name, address & phone, age, ethnicity, personal photo, medical history, and identification of one's insurance carrier. You should be as transparent as you're asking prospective participants to be.

Thanks again Kaiasgram for pointing out important information being omitted when folks coming to this board are asking for participants in filming and studies. Kind of insulting and arrogant not to provide important disclosure information in light of the fact that very personal information is being asked.
