Tefilin for a Film

Question

Hello,
I am a film student in college and I was wondering if it is okay for characters to put on Tefilin for a movie. This will probably entail the people to wrap multiple times for multiple takes until it is right. Is it okay to put on Tefilin and take it off in that manner?

Thank you & Shanah Tova

    If the actors are Jewish and male and they are going to make a Blessing over the Tefillin and treat them with the utmost respect, it is probably permitted but not recommended. If that is not the case, it is forbidden.
