I (Courtney) am grateful for everything I learned from being part of this venture. Thanks to that original group of partners for urging me to be a part of it.

Synopsis:
Danny and Gigi have been close for a long time, but their relationship suddenly gets complicated by a recent treatment Gigi underwent to give her a second chance at life.

DANNY: early 20s, mixed ethnicity. Danny is conscientious and responsible. He is about to graduate college and make a life for himself. He values time with family and friends.

GIGI: (working name, could change): mid 20s, non-White. Gigi immigrated to the U.S. and has worked hard to make a life here and help provide for her family. She recently underwent a life-saving medical treatment, and one side effect is that her appearance changed to make her more physically attractive to many men.

NAT: male, early 20s, any ethnicity. Nat is Danny’s roommate. He is the kind of guy who breezes into a room and immediately captures people’s attention. He’s charming, fun, attractive, and has a good sense of humor. People enjoy being around him.

This was a no-brainer. When you're asked to list yourself as an Iowa business against human trafficking, are you going to say no? Every business and every person should be against human trafficking.

We are building a statewide army to fight human trafficking. Here's a few of the 300+ businesses that have pledged to join the Iowa Businesses Against Human Trafficking Coalition. Join the ranks & pledge to “Learn Something” and “Do Something” by visiting IBAT.iowa.gov.

Tonight is the premiere of "The Giver". This is the biggest production Flow has created to date, and you know we've done some cool videos. Seriously, even if you're not a show choir fan, this film will blow you away. The artistry of the music, dance, and filmmaking shows what can happen when a great team comes together to make something special in a year when so much was...well, not special. Huge props to the students and their teachers at Ankeny Centennial and Linn-Mar high schools.

SYNOPSIS:
A retired woman outsmarts a scammer seeking her Medicare information. In this scene, she has just finished her morning workout when she receives a call from someone claiming to work in the business office of her doctor's clinic. The scammer wants her to give him her Medicare number. Instead she reports the suspicious call to Senior Medicare Patrol.
CHARACTER BIO
Retiree - African-American woman in her 60s, active, fit, wise. In this scene, she is just finishing a workout, so the actor will need to be fairly fit and able to repeat physical activity like walking on a treadmill or using an elliptical machine for several takes.

Hey, peeps. We're looking for someone with a nice home or apartment we could film a commercial in. Even better if you have a treadmill or elliptical machine.
