Dear friends and colleagues, I am seeking vegans to interview for a
series of short documentary videos that will collectively be known as
I'm Vegan (I'm Vegan: Todd, I'm Vegan: Carlos, and so on). Depending
on how these turn out, I may also weave some of these narratives into
a feature-length documentary. To that end, I am looking for a variety
of interesting vegans to interview during my March-May shoot. This is
where you come in. You may be someone who demonstrates against animal
exploiters or sells vegan products. You may be a vegan cookbook
author or a vegan radio show host, but you know vegans and have
access to vegans who are not. For this project, I'd like to focus on
non-activists, non-philosophers, etc., vegans leading interesting
lives outside or at the periphery of the AR/vegan community. Some
examples include a vegan accountant who moonlights as a club DJ, a
Silicon Valley entrepreneur, an ER doctor, a computer consultant who
teaches Krav Maga, etc., etc. Some clarifications might be in order:
If someone does a little advocacy in addition to their primary career
(athletes and actors who occasionally speak out about veganism and
animals, etc.) or is a full-time advocate in another area (anti-
racism, human rights, environment), that will work. I'll also
consider people who help animals in different capacities
(veterinarians, shelter workers, etc.). I am mainly trying to avoid
interviewing people whose primary focus is on vegan and animal
advocacy or philanthropy in these areas. Please forward the following
information to any potential candidates, or link them to
vegandocumentary.com, where casting details also listed. If you have
a blog, a podcast, radio show, or some other way of communicating to
others about this project, or belong to or run any listservs or
message boards, please distribute this info as widely as possible. To
be considered as a potential profile subject for I'm Vegan, please:
Send 2 recent digital snapshots, one close-up and one full-length.
Share your city, state, and zipcode. Answer the following questions:
How long have you been vegan? Why are you vegan? (and/or What was
your "A-ha!" moment?) What does veganism mean to you? What is your
favorite thing about being vegan? What is your least favorite thing
about being vegan? What are your favorite and frequent pastimes or
hobbies? Please share any kind of interesting story related to your
being vegan (interaction with family members, roommates, schoolmates,
co-workers, or experiences at restaurants, cafeterias, etc., etc.).
Why should you be interviewed for I'm Vegan? Our route will take us
all over the U.S., and possibly just over our borders, so if
potential interviewees are at all highway accessible the submission
will be considered. Even if you're not forwarding this to anyone or
submitting, but if you want to stay posted on website updates and
newly uploaded profiles (help me promote this project), visit
vegandocumentary.com to sign up for the email list. Thanks in advance
for your assistance.
