Casting US Military Veterans for a PSA – PAID – Quick Turnaround

Vitamin Enriched, a real people casting company, is searching in the NY Tri-State area for US Military Veterans for a powerful new PSA for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. We are looking for two types of Veterans. One who is younger (20-35) recently separated and served in non-combat roles – (IT, logistics, admin, or other support roles). The other who is older (40+) and can be perceived as a mentor and has served in a combat or a non combat capacity.  

The PSA will feature real Veterans in honest, emotional conversation with one another—sharing stories of service, doubt, identity, and affirmation.  This campaign is aimed at preventing Veteran suicide by addressing feelings of unworthiness and imposter syndrome that many Veterans face.

Have you ever felt disconnected from the title of “Veteran”? Have you experienced challenges adjusting to post-service life? Are you an older, wiser Veteran who feels like you can understand why some younger Veterans may feel underserving of their title? Whether you recently separated or have been out of the service for years, whatever your story is—we’d love to hear from you.

If you are interested in being considered, please take a few minutes to answer the questions in this form:
