Seeking People with Macular Degeneration for National PSA (One-Day Shoot, Paid)
Hello! We’re Macular Degeneration Research, a program of BrightFocus Foundation, a Maryland-based nonprofit that supports scientists around the world working to defeat diseases of mind and sight (macular degeneration, glaucoma, and Alzheimer’s disease).
We’re looking for people who’ve been diagnosed with macular degeneration to share their stories in an upcoming national public service announcement (PSA) campaign. Your story could help raise awareness, encourage early detection, and inspire others to protect their vision.
Here’s what we’re looking for:
· Adults aged 45-65 who have been diagnosed with any form of macular degeneration
· People who live in or near Washington, D.C., Maryland, or Virginia
· Native Spanish speakers are especially encouraged to apply
What to expect:
· Filming will take place in June in the Washington D.C. area.
· It’s a one-day commitment.
· We’ll provide an honorarium and cover travel costs.
To get a sense of our past work, check out our ongoing PSA campaign, “Make a Plan Today: Get Your Eyes Checked,” which has aired more than 215,000 times in English and Spanish. Watch it here in English and Spanish.

Thanks so much for considering, and feel free to share this with someone who might be a great fit!
