A possible documentary opportunity - Motor-sport - England..

I am producing a character led fly on the wall documentary on motorbike club racing in ENGLAND...

Think; TT 'A Film Documentary', search Google for clips of it. See here:

http://www.dukevideo.com/Bikes/DVD/T...NTARY-DVD.aspx

I need a camera operator who MUST own there own equipment (camera, sound) to co-direct with me and who can sacrifice around 12 FULL weekends (between FEB - OCT) and time at the end to work with me on the edit (Don't worry, I have a MAC based editing studio).

Travel, Accommodation, Food, Beer and fun times provided etc as well as generous share in the profit (to be agreed by contract prior to starting). We are currently in talks to various channels.

Please pass this onto anyone you may know and ask them to email me their CV along with examples of their work. Remember we have NO budget for equipment rentals so person MUST have their own camera, sound etc (and we don't mean a video phone!).

Hurry filming needs to start Feb 21.

Kind Regards

This sounds like it might make a fascinating documentary.

My advice on how you should pitch this is to understand that anyone
making this documentary will be spending a lot of money to do it. And
due to the limited TV exposure this level of the sport receives there
may not be much of a market for the final product. You have found it
virtually impossible to get sponsorship - a documentary maker might
find the same thing to be true.

Spending several months on the road with you and your best friends
will be quite expensive and will be a labor of love and commitment. Like
it is for you. With little possibility of getting much out of it other than
experience and a fascinating documentary that may or may not have
much appeal to people outside of the Clubman division you might want
to find motorbike riders with cameras rather than a small prodCo.
 
For your documentary, if you don't already know, you are the the founding country of motor crosss (motocross).
