I specialise in films. In my career spanning 17 years in advertising, I've mostly written and conceptualised films. I would like to crack a concept for this one. However, I'm convinced that one needs to be entertaining even while one is writing/directing a documentary. Informative, yes, but it needs to be entertaining as well. And that's my forte. However, I would like to have some more details from you. What exactly do you have in mind, so that it can be packaged nicely. Do revert. Cheers!

I would be honoured to create the script outline and interview questions for your worthwhile project. My main career has been developing, scripting and overseeing the production and editing of documentaries for television and for clients. Collectively, these projects have won over 60 international awards. I have had an independent production company called SomaTV for 25 years with my husband. Most of our 22 series have been of an educational nature and made for Canada's educational television networks, for the Public Broadcasting System in the United States, and for another cable network. Some have been made strictly for high schools, colleges and universities. I have also made 60+ videos for clients - mostly NGOs - non-governmental organizations who are working to benefit society in some way. If I am chosen, I would like to know what information that you can provide me - the people whom you would want to interview and the places and projects that you would like to feature in the program. I would also like to know the key messages that you'd want to get across, what you would wish to achieve with the video, and the constituencies to whom you would want to 'speak'. Based on this, I'll develop the principle theme for your program and create a first outline for your comments. I'll then re-write it, accordingly. Finally, I would create the questions to be asked of your various interviewee groups, that is, teachers, alumni, students etc. Thank you for considering me. Susan
