Ads for the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS)

This gig filmed in the Chicago area in June.  It was an exciting gig, because it was bilingual.  I didn't think that my Spanish was good enough for a bilingual gig, but they booked me.

Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is much more common in fair skinned people, especially with blue eyes.  I was chosen for this ad, because they felt I looked like an AMD patient.  My mom did, in fact, have this condition.

I learned from this ad that AMD is much more treatable than it used to be -- with injections into the eyeball.  While that doesn't sound so great, the ad emphasizes that it isn't as bad as you think.

The actress for the main character told me that she was particularly interested in this ad, because several of her family members suffered from retinal disease.
