Overview

Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

In the first of Smitherton's videos, he introduces himself as a safety celebrity, referencing his past (fictional) safety film accolades, covering such topics as inner ear hygiene and canned ham. He goes on to deliver the indication and safety information for Hemlibra, seamlessly switching between the FDA-mandated language and random humor.

Provide the full film script in English.

[Open on SMITHERTON GLEDHILL in a very fake looking home library.]

Fork. Socket.

[inserts fork into socket and screams/jolts in electrical shock]

[CLIP from a safety video about email scams...SMITHERTON holding up SPAM, the canned ham brand. super onscreen: "BUT I THOUGHT SPAM WAS DELICIOUS"]

It's not a delicious canned ham ok? It's bad internal malware sent by keyboard warriors who are trying to get you.

[BACK to crappy green screen background of vaguely fancy-looking library]

So let's start at the beginning, shall we?

What is...Hemlibra?

Great question, Me.

Well their ruling planet is Venus and their symbol is the scales.

[CUT]

Mm. I'm sorry...I'm talking about Libras again, not HEMlibra. Gah. Come on, you can do this. Smithy, you got this.

Camera 2, new opportunity, new day.

[shifts to camera 2]

Hemlibra...what is it?

[reads Hemlibra safety information]

HEMLIBRA is a prescription medicine used for routine prophylaxis to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes in adults and children, ages newborn and older, with hemophilia A with or without factor eight inhibitors.

What is the most important information you should know regardling HEMLIBRA? Well buckle up, Buttercup. That's what the pro's pro is here to tell you.

HEMLIBRA increases the potential for your blood to clot. People who use activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC; Feiba) to treat breakthrough bleeds while taking HEMLIBRA may be at risk of serious side effects related to blood clots, including thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), and blood clots (thrombotic events).

Carefully follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding when to use an on-demand bypassing agent or factor eight, and the dose and schedule to use for breakthrough bleed treatment. If aPCC (Feiba) is needed, talk to your healthcare provider in case you feel you need more than 100 Units per kilogram of aPCC (Feiba) total.

Your body may make antibodies against HEMLIBRA, which may stop HEMLIBRA from working properly. Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you notice that HEMLIBRA has stopped working for you (for example, increase in bleeds).

[CUT back to fake ridiculous library, where a fan is asking SMITHY for an autograph. SMITHERTON mutters to himself as he writes]

Follow your dreams...Smithy G. No, no pictures.

There you go...Alright sport, you get outta here! Stay safe out there!!

[Fan scurries away]

[into camera]

I just adore my fans. Well...

I'm Smitherton Gledhill. And if it comes out of my mouth...you KNOW it's important.

[CUT, then SMITHERTON back on screen, with visible green screen behind him]

Security?? get my picture back please!!

[shakes out his hands]

Whew. I could use an iced tea...

Describe any restrictions or regulations regarding Healthcare/RX/Pharma communications in your country/region including:

This project was created by a US biopharmaceutical company for a prescription medication. It was subject to review by internal medical/legal/regulatory teams at Genentech as well as the FDA.

Describe the target audience and why your work is relevant to them.

Young men living with hemophilia A, a rare bleeding disorder. People with hemophilia often need to avoid activities that can cause physical injury (as this can result in bleeds that may lead to joint damage and chronic pain). Research confirmed that they are highly interested in video games.
