Frame yourself in camera so we can see you from the waist up. Show us the below short scenes. Ideally 2 times each.

You knock on your teenager daughters bedroom door. She opens the door and you go to talk but before you can say anything your daughter points to her headphones and motions that she is on a call. She closes the door.
SCENE 2:
You, your husband and your son are playing dominos at the dining room table. Show us 10 seconds of what this looks like. Your daughter walks in, kisses your husband on the forehead and leaves without a word. You look at your husband and sigh.

VIDEO 3 OF 3 (OPTIONAL): VOICE OVER
If you are fluent in English and Spanish and interested in being considered for the voice over role on this project, please read the below script TWO TIMES, once in English and once in Spanish.
You do not have to memorize these lines. You can read these on camera or send them as an audio file.
Voice Over (English):
" It’s not about all the times your teen shuts you down.
Believe it or not, you’re still their biggest influence.
Having ongoing conversations with your teens about the risks of cannabis cuts their chance of future misuse.
Ask questions, and take time to listen to their experiences
Find more helpful tools at the website."
Voice Over (Spanish):
"No se trata de todas las veces que su adolescente no le escucha...
se trata de las veces cuando si le escucha.
Aunque no lo crea, usted sigue siendo su mayor influencia. Hablar mas a menudo con sus adolescentes sobre los riesgos de la marihuana ayuda a prevenir el mal uso en el futuro. Hable abiertamente sobre el tema y realmente escuche lo que tengan que decir.
