My name’s Camilla and I work at a documentary company called Mentorn. I’m conducting initial research into a film for Channel 4 on Body Identity Integrity Disorder. If you are a BIID sufferer/Wannabe I would be very interested to speak to you in confidence about your experiences and your hopes for the future.
Mentorn is a multi award winning television production company that produces high-end documentaries for all major UK and US broadcasters including the BBC, Channel 4, Discovery and National Geographic. We are extremely experienced in working with individuals in highly sensitive circumstances, our content is always driven by our integrity and is built through truly collaborative documentary partnerships. We intend to avoid it be a sensationalist documentary and we intend to focus on the neurological aspects of BIID as well as the ethical arguments that tie in with the topic. At this initial stage we are looking to talk with as many of those with BIID as possible to build up a full and honest sense of the condition.
We absolutely appreciate that many of those with BIID value their anonymity. At this stage therefore we are not looking for people to appear on camera, only to talk with us about their lives and experiences. Any initial conversation will be in the strictest confidence, and there will be no obligation at all to appear on film. We are in the process of contacting other parties in the BIID community and we are looking for UK based people with BIID in particular although we'd love to hear from anyone.
If you would like to know more about our project or are happy to help us, please email me on CArnold@mentorn.tv or call me on 02072586717.
Thanks so much for reading, and I do hope to hear from you soon.
