Bariatric Surgery
November 19, 2024 4:39 PM
Hello,
My name is Liz Lewis and I am a the founder & Owner at Liz Lewis Casting Partners. I am working on a documentary-style commercial where they are looking to feature real patients in the southeastern US who have undergone robotic-assisted bariatric surgery (ex. da Vinci). The idea is to share their journeys in a hopeful way, and show the amount of dedication and hard work it is. This would be a paid opportunity for anyone who is selected.
I am trying to outreach to potential patients, and would love to share our flyer to your group. But didn't want to spam the group, as I understand the sensitivities, and wanted to ask for permission. I am happy to /or you can see where we have this casting search posted on our website (along with other projects we have cast) here: https://www.lizlewis.com/now-casting/
Thank you for your time! Below the people we are searching for and I am attaching the flier as well.
Liz Lewis Casting Partners is looking for men and women, age 18-60, based in the Southeast, who have undergone robotic assisted bariatric surgery (could be sleeve or roux-en-y gastric bypass). Selected talent would appear in a commercial for the makers of a robotic surgery system. They would share their weight loss journey, and how their life has changed since having the surgery. Selected talent would be filmed in their familiar locations, participating in their favorite hobbies and pastimes, with their friends and loved ones.
Non union
Usage: 1 year North America TV, cable, and digital
Shoot dates: 12/2-6 in Austin, TX. Hotel and accommodations provided for those outside the Austin area.
Compensation: Selected talent would be paid $500/10 hour shoot day, $250 for the tech scout/rehearsal (if filming in their home) and $2000 for 1 years usage. Option to renew for an additional year at the same rate + 10%.
Family and friends who are asked to participate would make $400.
