PLEASE NOTE:
We sincerely look forward to hearing from you, and we thank you in advance
for your contribution. We fully acknowledge that you may not be prepared
to divulge any private information at this preliminary stage. We wholly
respect that; you tell us only what you want to. Please exclude your
surname if you wish; and we do not require your residential address.
However, the questions asked in the abovementioned guidelines are what
we intend to ask you when the cameras are rolling, in order to tell
your stories. By fully answering the questions, we will be able to assess
the material more quickly and thoroughly. Whilst the strictest confidentiality
will be professionally applied in accepting your written stories, please
keep in mind that, at the end of the day, documentaries are essentially
detailed accounts. If you are chosen to be interviewed, your life will
probably be screening at a cinema, broadcast on television, and distributed
on DVD. A consent form which you sign prior to filming will confirm
that you give us permission to use all footage of your interview.
