Danish ERE TV documentary casting call
Posted: Sat Jul 30, 2016 9:39 am
Over the past few months (since the article in b.dk which turned out to have been the most read online article YTD) I've been talking back and forth with a Danish TV production company about making a 75 minute documentary (alternatively two part series) about FIRE in Denmark for DR2.
I'm personally interested because we're talking about a documentary (not the average "Here's 10 minutes with a crazy person" morning show); because the idea of ERE/FIRE has been rather well-received so far in the Danish sphere; and because DR2 is the so-called "smart channel".
Preliminary meetings with the TV bosses have been very enthusiastic, but they want to know what the interest is in terms of others participating in such a program.
Therefore, if you're a Dane living in Denmark, a Dane living abroad, a foreigner living in Denmark, someone looking to immigrate, or any other Danish connection, ... and has any interest in possibly partaking in this project, please let me know: here, PM, or email jacob @ early .... com. Right now we're just looking for an approximate headcount of potential candidates. They don't want an "all jacob" show.
Not sure what the actual form/shape of the program will ideally be. However, I do seem to have some input on the ideas. On the flip side, I know little about what works or doesn't work on TV. Only thing I can guarantee you is that we're not talking survivor on Lentil Island. More like interviews or show and tell of the concepts from different people, perhaps with my running commentary.
Since I know this will be an issue for some, it was confirmed that some anonymity is actually possible despite the TV format.
