Make The Connection Is Coming To Tampa. …

The campaign is looking to locate Veterans of all military branches, eras, and walks of life as soon as possible for filming in Tampa from July 27-29.

Seeking VETERANS and their families to give interviews for a national Department of Veterans Affairs campaign to help other Veterans. This highly visible and acclaimed campaign (www.MakeTheConnection.net) is advertised nationally via TV/radio commercials, magazine ads, billboards, etc. and has developed a strong Web presence. Samples of the videos can be seen here: http://maketheconnection.net/stories-of-connection

The only requirement is that each Veteran must have received some kind of mental health related support (i.e. counseling, therapy) and be willing to talk about it with a very small, very Veteran-friendly film crew. Interviews will last roughly 45min. Participating Veterans will be paid $100 for their time and, most importantly, will walk away knowing that their story will help encourage other Veterans across the country to get the help they’ve earned through their service.
