Looking for disabled Veterans for documentary

We've been fiscally sponsored to produce a feature-length documentary about the military's involvement with the video gaming industry, ie. America's Army, Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, etc.  The documentary will focus on how the military aids in the development of these games, as well as other games used for simulation and training purposes.

We are seeking Veterans willing to discuss the similarities/differences between their own experiences and those portrayed through these types of video games.  

This is a non-biased documentary.  We are hoping to gain a broad perspective through the testimonials given from Veterans, gamers, developers, researchers, and other military personnel.  While we've already begun filming most of these groups, it's the Veterans themselves (especially those disabled) who haven't had their voices heard at this point.

We are willing to travel to where you are to avoid any inconvenience.  In addition, compensation can be offered should there be any additional difficulties on your end.

Please contact Paul @ ferris830@hotmail.com for more information.

Thanks for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you!

OIF Vet (disabled), I love games mostly shooters, but there is nothing similar about a video game to actual experience. Two kids picking up sticks and going "bang bang" at each other is closer than a game. The sight, the smell of diesel,garbage,feces burning.The concussion of IED's ,waking up to rockets whistling incoming or your sqaud leader yelling FIRE MISSION! ,watching blackhawks fly away with whats left of your friends and the first hand knowledge of what it feels like to have a sniper round tear through you. Not going to see that in a game i am sure.
