Seeking Interview Candidates for Youtube Series

Chicago IL

Description

I am looking for subjects for a youtube series I am creating. It is a work in progress, so there are some things that need to be figured out, but essentially the focus is around individuals that are artists, travelers, wanderers, dreamers, that struggle with finding their way. It’s about people that can’t find their footing in the world. At the moment, I’m focusing mostly on artists and craft makers; what they face trying to make a hobby into a career, the pitfalls of creative work, and the overall difficulties of pursuing their craft, but I’m also open to people who have tried other things, struggle with the modern world, or can’t seem to rest their wandering feet. As an example: I’m an avid traveler that has been working a 9-5 for the past year and it is a real struggle to stay in one place and be chained to a desk everyday. My brother is an old soul musician that really fights with using social media and maneuvering his way thru the challenging music scene. I don’t know too much about where this will go or how it will turn out, but I’d like to think of it as something simple and exploratory. An interview with some video. Maybe it will be something you can use for your own social media, maybe it will be a learning experience, or maybe we’ll meet and there won’t be interest beyond that. I’m open to anyone and everyone as long as you are relatively sane. That said, I will be vetting people heavily. If this is of interest, please send the following: -An “about you” write up: basic info about you, what you do in life/work/craft, and what you struggle with (there are no requirements here, no need to stretch the truth). -Some examples of your work. I don’t have social media but please send yours if you have one and I’ll find a way to view it. -Why are you interested in this project? -Contact information As I mentioned, I’m going to start this slow, so if you don’t hear from me, I may just save your info for 3 or 4 down the line. If you do hear from me we will first connect via email or phone and then set up a time to talk before doing anything further. We can discuss the idea more and go from there if it sounds interesting for both of us. Thanks for taking the time to read this and look forward to hearing from you. M
