MTV'S TRUE LIFE: I'M FROM THE BAYOU - CASTING CALL Hi there ~
I work for MTV News & Documentaries in New York, and I'm currently researching a new round of episodes for MTV's long-running series, True Life. The series, if you're unfamiliar, employs first-person narrative storytelling to provide a window into the lives of young Americans. To date, the series has explored topics as complex as living with a disorder such as autism or obsessive-compulsive disorder; living in extreme poverty; single parenting; and being deployed to and returning from military service in Iraq.
We're currently exploring the idea of a True Life: I’m From The Bayou episode, featuring young people who are from the Gulf Coast region of Louisiana. We are interested in hearing from people with all kinds of stories, from a young person struggling to rebuild and reclaim the life they lived pre-Hurricane Katrina, Researchers fighting to preserve the Cajun culture along the bayou, Scientists studying the changing climate and the effects it will have on the bayou and it’s people, local people whose family is deeply rooted in Cajun/Creole culture and whose daily lives depend largely on the land, and everything in-between. Can you help us put out our call for stories?
We would like to get the word out to people in our age range (16-25, roughly, though anyone who appears younger than 28 is welcome to submit their story) who might be interested in possibly sharing their story and ultimately participating in a documentary project that would follow as they navigate whatever conflict, tension, obstacle, or decision they are facing because of or related to being from the bayou.
I have attached a flier detailing what we are looking for, and if you could help us by forwarding, posting, or printing and hanging it up anywhere you feel is appropriate, we'd be grateful.
Let me know and thanks for any assistance you can provide… if there is anyone else you think I should contact about this project, or if you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with me at (212) 654-7995 or by email at brooke.crittendon@mtvstaff.com.
