I have read lots of other forums and gleaned many useful things. However this forum topic has been created so that I might directly meet those people I'm looking for, and in the longer term, give those interested a chance to come forward and take part (be it on or off camera).
Finally, this is not for television or a university/school project. I have recently graduated studying film and am simply looking to make a short documentary about something I am interested in. And which if good enough, may one be sent to festivals and can go on my resume.
