There are two, and possibly three or more, casting companies participating in this commercial, so it's easy for the fingers and hands not to be communicating.

If you use video and answer the questions, it will have to be put on disk or tape and mailed because the file will likely be too big to email (10Meg file for Yahoo; video runs about 14Meg/minute...).


Here's what I got from Kathy Wickline Casting:

QUOTE

Head &Neck cancer is basically from the throat up, but excludes the Brain and the Esophagus. H&N cancer is most common on the Oral cavity (mouth and/or tongue), Examples: Nasopharyx, Larynx (voicebox), and the Oropharynx and Hypopharynx (Base of tongue, soft palate, tonsils,etc).

Usage:
The ultimate goal is to create an awareness campaign that may include TV, print and web. I know there is talk of creating a DRTV (Direct Response TV) ad that features people sharing their personal stories and possibly concludes with a call to action graphic for viewers to call a 1-800 number and/or visit a website to get more information about H&NC. This ad may air nationally depending on the media buys it receives.
As for the print usage, there may be a newspaper/magazine/web component too but at the very least posters and/or banners, featuring people and their stories, will most likely be created and displayed (internally).

What will take place at the interview?

Please share your personal story with us by spending a few minutes (as many as you feel comfortable with giving but no more than 10-15 minutes) on camera answering the following questions:


Tell us a little about your experience with cancer --

* How and when were you diagnosed?

* What was your reaction to being diagnosed?

* What treatment are you currently receiving or have you received -- any medication(s)? If so, what kind?

* Is there any history of cancer in your family?

* What has the impact of having cancer been on your life, family?

* What has been your greatest source of support during this experience?

* Anything you would like to say to someone going through a similar situation as yours or perhaps being newly diagnosed with cancer?
