1. Tell us who you are with your name and how long you’ve been a patient.
2. How was life like before treatment for you?
3. What was your breaking point? When you realized coming to see us was necessary?
4. What other treatments have you tried prior to coming to Apollo?
5. Tell us about how it felt when you made the phone call and went to your first consultation.
6. What changes have you noticed since you first started treatment?
7. Are there any thoughts you would like to share about the staff?

A Guide to Filming Yourself

1. Please sign the talent release form. We value your privacy, and we will only share your story with your consent. If you wish, you can opt to keep your identity anonymous or use only your first name.
2. Besides your primary recorded story, we’d like to incorporate your personal photos and videos from your life. Ideally, videos showcasing your more active moments would be great, but please feel free to share anything you’re comfortable with. If necessary, we can blur faces. Examples are in Stephanie’s and Kennedy’s videos below.
3. Please wear clothing without visible logos or brand names and position yourself facing a source of light or a window.
4. Ensure the background is uncluttered and you are in an area free from any distracting noises.
5. Record yourself like a vlog – horizontally. Your phone’s video camera works great.
6. Tell your story using your own words. You don’t have to do it all in one go, so it’s perfectly fine to pause and take breaks. Feel free to send us as many videos as you’d like, and we’ll make sure to capture all the most meaningful parts.
7. Upload your videos and photos with the form below.
