Background Actor

About the Job

Selected participants will appear on camera in a short, meaningful mental health awareness video designed to spark conversation, reduce stigma, and help others feel less alone. This role involves speaking directly to camera in a natural, authentic way using brief scripted or guided prompts. Topics may include everyday experiences such as stress, anxiety, panic symptoms, generational pressure, and knowing when and how to ask for support. No acting experience is required. We are looking for real people who are comfortable being themselves on camera and open to simple direction. Filming will take place in a supportive, relaxed setting and will require approximately two (2) hours. Videos will be shared on social media as part of a larger public awareness effort focused on reaching youth and families in diverse communities. Participants are not asked to share personal trauma or sensitive details. This is not a clinical or therapeutic role — it’s about showing up, being present, and helping others feel seen. All talent will receive clear information about the content, usage, and compensation prior to filming.
