Aerobility Flyers! We recently received this message from a TV producer who wants to talk to disabled people who love - or dream of trying extreme sports:
'We’re researching a new Channel 4 documentary
about disabled people who take part (or want to participate) in action/extreme
sports. We’ve seen amazing clips of wheelchair scuba diving, bungee
jumping and even base jumping for starters!
We want to surprise and amaze
people, as well as challenge pre-conceptions about what’s possible in an
entertaining and occasionally humorous way. We’re looking for strong
personalities and characters. People with an unfulfilled dream, or perhaps a
clear idea about an extreme challenge. It’s about ambition, aspiration,
adventure, thrills and fun. We’re not ruling out including athletes but we’re
really keen to find ‘regular folk’ with a crazy idea - perhaps unlikely people
- and even better if they have with a quirky sense of humour or a unique
outlook on life.
We are also interested in
finding people who make these activities possible for others, regardless of
whether they themselves have a disability. They may be specialist travel
agents, charities, facilitators or trainers.
The film is being directed by
Mike Christie who’s made a long list of films about both extreme and Paralympic
sports, including Jump London, Concrete Circus and Inside
Incredible Athletes. The film is being produced at TwoFour, the BAFTA award
winning production company known for inspiring productions such as Educating
Yorkshire.'
