CONSULTING
Bringing Hire Survivors Hollywood on board as consultants is not only an efficient and ethical way to lead the charge in creating opportunities for historically marginalized folks, but the inclusion of survivors in your projects – and the creation of a safer and more equitable work environment for all – is also good for business.
As consultants, we will be hands-on from development through release, interfacing with department heads, talent, and the entire team as needed. We do not aim to replace any common production roles – e.g. casting directors or intimacy coordinators – but instead serve as an extra support to the entire team throughout the life of the project.
Below is a small sampling of some of the many things included in Hire Survivors Hollywood’s hands-on, comprehensive, custom consulting services:
-
providing Unlimited sensitivity reads and notes sessions
-
Ensuring honest, inclusive portrayals of survivors – and challenging topics – regardless of the subject matter or genre
-
Identifying potential problems, pitfalls, or pain points early on –rom development through release – and therefore avoiding them
-
Identifying survivor talent to hire in all departments and positions
-
Raising awareness of your company’s commitment to hiring survivors via press releases, websites, interfacing with professional representatives, casting directors, etc.
-
creating initiatives for survivors to shadow or train within your company/PROJECT
-
Putting new health and safety measures into place for all cast and crew regardless of their position or the stage of production
-
Designing a productive and positive PR plan
-
Developing a plan to respectfully and genuinely engage audiences – since all audiences definitively contain survivors
-
Creating a safe, trauma informed, inclusive, equitable production at every step in the process
We have robust partnerships with many companies, organizations, and – most importantly – the survivor community. We have successfully consulted on productions of every budget and size and have also consulted with major industry publications, all of which has led to the interviewing, auditioning, and hiring of survivors, trauma therapists, intimacy coordinators, and exceptionally positive experiences for everyone involved – survivor or not.
