Hello,
My name is Alex Fisher and I'm part of a small team working on a documentary on Depression in Young People for potential broadcast on BBC3. We are currently in the pre-production stage and are putting a taster tape together for the BBC.
We are looking to meet with a wide variety of young people who have experienced depression and talk about the varying ways in which they deal with the illness. The film is focussed on people who have taken up adrenaline-fuelled activities (base-jumpers, trapeze artists for example). While we are especially keen to talk with people who encounter heights as part of their activity, we'd be grateful to talk with anyone who has adopted something challenging and who is happy to share their experiences. We of course respect the fact that some people may wish to remain anonymous and having a discussion does not mean they have to take part in the actual film itself.
The film's aim is to show the remarkable strength of extraordinary young people faced with depression in Britain today.
Please feel free to email me on fish2066@hotmail.com or call on 07754157398 if you would like to contribute or know of someone who would.
Many thanks for your time,
Alex
