The Rx Laughter Student/Hospital Digital Pair Up Program selects and disseminates student-made funny shorts to clinics and hospitals free of any charges. We do this through student submissions (no submission fee, not a contest) that tackle emotional and physical issues in a fun, hopeful, imaginative, entertaining way. Each student selects a local clinic(s) Viewing is via private link during inpati
ent and out-patient treatments like dialysis, infusions, etc.. maximum. More:
Joyful performances in music, dance, animation are welcomed as well as stand up and improv comedy.
- Support and encourage virtual, uplifting, entertaining, comforting digital "visits" to reach youth and families in distress who are confined to hospital rooms or are too sick for visitors (Isolation, ICU, hospices) and are in isolated, rural areas.
- Foster relationships between students of comedy and performing arts and children who are coping with serious physical and emotional illnesses to provide relief and comfort for them and their families.
-Enlighten and encourage hospitals about the benefits of compassionate care and the use of digital technology to help critically ill patients through this program.
-Offer the opportunity to students to have their work seen by top entertainment industry professionals who might not see their work otherwise. For questions, please email us at [email protected]. Please put "Rx L Pair Up" in the Subject Line so that it does not go to Spam.
