Subject: LOGO documentary project...
Hi Austin folks,
I'm developing a documentary project for LOGO, the new LGBT network Viacom and
MTV Networks are launching in February '05. The doc. will follow three gay or
lesbian athletes as they learn, compete, train, or otherwise engage with the
world of sports - and have a story to tell along the way. So I'm getting in
touch with teams, leagues, etc. who might have interested (and interesting)
players.
We're looking for three individuals who are going through a process that we can
document. (For example, training for a national-level event... preparing for a
gay or lesbian league tournament where a parent will attend for the first
time... dealing with a rivalry with a former partner or lover... overcoming a
lifelong fear of the field just in time for the annual family reunion football
game... etc.)
Obviously, there are a million stories out there as there are individuals, and
we'd like to hear as many as possible.
I was wondering whether you'd be interested in letting potential players know
about this project, so that they could get in touch with us if they're
interested in participating? I'd be happy to send along a 'call for stories'
that you could distribute by email or post at practices...
Let me know -- my office # is 212.654.6208, or email me here.
Best regards, and I look forward to speaking with you!
