British Expats in remote/wilderness locations wanted for new channel 4 TV series

Hi there,

I am a television producer working for major independent production company Optomen Television in London. We are currently producing a new documentary series for Channel 4 in the UK about people who have quit the rat race and moved to live in remote locations the world. It will be an inspirational series following the incredible stories of ordinary people who are living a unique way of life in some of the most beautiful and breath-taking places. The presenter, Kevin McCloud, best known for presenting the hit TV series ‘Grand Designs’ will visit people in their wildness homes and get to experience first-hand the wonder of life in these stunning locations.

Our research team in London is currently looking for suitable stories to feature in the series and we're keen to contact people who may be interested in taking part.

I’m trying to find British/Irish families attempting to live self-sufficiently in wilderness locations overseas and I was wondering if there may be some on here using the Permies site? Or perhaps you know of anyone I could approach?

I am attaching a jpeg flyer, do feel free to forward on this information or post on your Webpage/Facebook/Twitter/.

Any help you can provide is much appreciated. You can contact me directly on Cheryl.jackson@optomen.com.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Many Thanks and Kind Regards,

Cheryl Jackson
Producer
