Thank you all for comments! Filming has been delayed until April/May 2022, so have a good five months to consider and also practice my quizzing.
My feeling at the moment is to keep it simple and positive (e.g. ‘I have recently become really interested in effective altruism—which is about trying to have as positive an impact as possible with your time and money—I joined a community of others thinking and working on the same thing ~4 years ago and love it’) - allowing people to look up effective altruism if they are interested but not going in to much detail about methodology.
I think the positives of this: some people looking up / getting involved with EA, outweigh the negatives: reinforcing negative impressions or spreading a low-fidelity message which prevents proper understanding later on. But would be really interested if anyone disagrees with this/has examples of this kind of messaging not working well(or also examples of it yes working well).
