We’re creating a social media series featuring real couples (and exes) playing Substance, a card game designed to spark raw, meaningful conversations — and we’re looking for participants.
On camera, you’ll answer emotionally deep, intimate questions like:
* “What’s your biggest regret?”
* “What’s one experience that changed your life?”
* “What’s the hardest lesson you’ve had to learn?”
* “What’s an apology you never got to give?”
...and many more from our full deck of prompts.
This is an intense, vulnerable experience — not just a casual Q&A. We're looking for people who are willing to be open, reflect honestly, and engage deeply with each other. Whether you’re currently together or revisiting your past as exes, your story matters.
The footage will be edited into short videos for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube under the Substance brand. You can see some of our previous work here (https://www.tiktok.com/@damispeakz) and here (https://www.youtube.com/@shotsbylovely).
Compensation:
* $100 per couple (currently together)
* $150 per pair of exes
Time: 60–90 minutes Location: Bay Area (exact location shared after confirmation)
Flexible dates – we’ll work around your schedule
TO APPLY: Please reply with:
* Names and ages of both participants
* Whether you're a couple or exes
* A few sentences about your relationship: (How you met, how long you were together, what your dynamic is like now, any context that helps us get to know your story)
* Are you comfortable on camera?
* Why do you want to do this?
* A recent photo together (optional but appreciated)
We’re especially interested in diverse perspectives and emotionally compelling stories. If you're open to showing up authentically and being truly seen, we’d love to hear from you.
