(auto-translated from Dutch Dutch)
Het Gezond Verstand is a new social enterprise from Nijmegen, founded by Sjors van Bergen and Sam Janssen. We combine ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) with sports, such as boxing and running, to get young adults with mild to moderate psychological complaints moving again, literally and figuratively.
For the launch, we are making a short hero film of approximately 90 seconds, cinematic and documentary in style. The film follows a young adult trapped in avoidance: leaving messages unanswered, constantly snoozing the alarm, canceling appointments. While life around him or her goes on, he or she takes a first step and joins a group moving forward together. No drama or grand pronouncements, but relatable, small moments.
What we offer
- reimbursement of your travel expenses.
- a fully catered lunch (just let us know what you like or what you don't eat).
- a pleasant and perhaps even educational afternoon, where you will learn more about ACT and experience for yourself how sport and mental health come together.
- the chance to use and further develop your acting skills in an understated, natural role, with plenty of room for non-word acting.
- the final film and the footage of your scenes, for your own portfolio or showreel.
