C4 documentary

Hello,

I am posting from a television production company called Minnow Films. We are one of the UK?s most respected documentary companies, having produced a number of acclaimed films for the BBC and Channel 4. Recent projects include Battleship Antarctic about a Greenpeace expedition to confront the Japanese whaling fleet, and a 3 hour film, currently in production for the BBC, that will remember every British serviceman who has died in Iraq and Afghanistan. Please visit www.minnowfilms.co.uk for more information.

The reason I am posting on BGAFD is that we have recently been asked by Channel 4 to develop a one-hour documentary about people who juggle successful careers in the adult entertainment business with their role as a full time parent.

I am trying to find families where the mother or father - or both - are well known performers in the adult entertainment business. The idea of the film is to follow several families going through the same ups and downs as the so-called ?average? family. In this sense it will hopefully offer a fresh and, some may find, surprising perspective on modern family life and on the adult entertainment industry, which frequently is presented in a very sensationalised way. We want this to be a warm, sensitive and good-humoured observational film, in line with the kind of productions Minnow has gained a reputation for.

If you are interested in discussing this project in more detail please feel free to get in touch at bruce@minnowfilms.co.uk.

Thanks for taking the time to read this post.

hmmm guess who never bothered to check to see if other "highly respected documentary makers" have had the bright idea of getting victims for one of their productions here before.

Yes the adult entertainment industry is "frequently presented in a sensationalised way" and I'll add that it's mostly presented in a negative, stereotypical way and mocked by the tabloid and so called "quality" media too. But your film will be different, of course it will! Lol!
