MOTION PICTURE/TV PSYCHIATRIC AUTHENTICITY CONSULTANTS

Direction/Screenplay/Set Design/Dialogue/Stunt & Action Sequences

We consult with Producers filming on-location or soundstages featuring hospitals and behavioral health facilities depicting psychiatric patients within the world of movies and television. We have the technical experience to ensure authenticity provided to actors, writers and directors in the pre-production stage, on set during filming, and in the post-editing bay. Phoenix Training Group CEO Doc Elliot has had a parallel career journey in both the medical/psychiatric field and the motion picture and television industry. Elliot has extensive experience in script writing, stunt coordination, and all forms of production.

Whether a period piece or a narrative set in modern times, we can vet dialogue, actions, and all aspects of filmmaking required to keep medical/psychiatric elements accurate & authentic. We have consulted for major Hollywood studios and independent productions alike, partnering with a wide variety of film industry crewmembers from the Director to the Best Boy. Audiences and critics appreciate technical authenticity, and Phoenix Training Group can provide it. Our association with Zarathustra Cinema and Parallax Studio LLC allows us to offer a wide variety of assistance, including quality animation and special effects.

What would a doctor say in a given situation? What medical equipment was used in a sanitarium in 1896? How would a psychiatric patient act when having a psychotic episode? How do you restrain him? Just examples of how we can provide realism and authenticity to your production.

References and examples of our work in television and cinema available on request. Some include ER, The X-Files, Criminal Minds, Batman and Robin, Speed, The Mighty Ducks just to list a few.
