Diabetes Hands Foundation, DiabetesDaily, Diabetes, Diabetes by Design and music documentary filmmaker Sean Ross, in conjunction with World Diabetes Day are seeking actors and everyday folks affected by diabetes for a viral video for World Diabetes Day in connection with the Big Blue Test project.
The video is sponsored by Roche Diagnostics and will begin shooting October 8th, 9th, 10th in Los Angeles, CA. Taking an innovative approach to ensuring the video's viral success, the number of youtube views generated directly correlates into a large charitable donation: up to $75K raised for 2 organizations working with children with diabetes in developing countries.
Cast from communities of people affected by diabetes, the commercial shooting script involves a series of vignettes on people participating in variety of physically activities (there is also a strong possibility a rock-start celebrity will be participating). Shooting will begin on the weekend of October 8-9-10, with pickups the following weekend. The cast already includes a number people affected by diabetes and we are looking for cast members who either have Type 1 or 2 Diabetes, or have a direct relative with Diabetes.
