Hi,
My names Ben.
I'm looking to film a short documentary on base jumping.
I personally have never attempted it, but i'd love to give it a go one day in the future,
My aim of the documentary is to show people what it's all about and how diverse it really is in terms of how many different people do it e.g. male and females and how not everyone is injured. Thing's such as this will be developed deeper through-out the documentary.
At the end of all of my interviews and viewings of the base jumping I may attempt it if I feel from my evidence it is the right thing for me to do.
I have experience in working with charities e.t.c. and directing short films as well as recently working on a feature film. By no means am I intending to make base jumping look like it is dangers and people who are doing it are stupid e.t.c. I am very open minded.

If you would willing to be involved please let me know.
I will be aiming to film this during late August - early September.
Please get in touch asap so that we can talk more in depth.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Ben :-)

please be aware, some people are quite reluctant to participate in projects. many have been portrayed rather poorly in the past.

Thankyou,
I am aware that this could be an issue,
But as i personally would love to do this one day though i will show the dangers of it,
I certainly have no aim to show it in a bad light as i think it is a great sport and hobby.
I hope this helps to persuade people to help,
Ben

It is in fact very dangerous and while not all of us are many people who do it are in fact stupid

well if it helps on the stupid connection.
part of what i do as a hobby is i run a group called "The Fire Team"
where a team of us do fire juggling and i fire eat and fire breath
so i too look to danger in order to get my adrenaline fixes.
