We are looking for cross section of women to appear in a documentary that aims to both raise awareness and combat the unfamiliarity of the disease by providing an intimate look at how Endometriosis affects not only the sufferers but their partners, family and friends. Whilst both being
informative and sensitive to the subject matter, the style of the film will be casual and informal, so as to encompass an “every day” or “real life” feel. We need women to talk candidly about their quality of life and the toll it takes on those around them, especially family and friends. We also want to explore their “management” the disease, any surgical procedures they have undergone, or at this point are considering and also, their hopes for
the future.
In particular, the producers are looking for case studies to allow for a “warts and all” insight into their lives. Although, this aspect of the production will be intrusive and at times disrupting, it will allow for a unique opportunity to document the iscomfort and inconvenience of the illness. A small camera would be left with the subject to record the ups and
downs, including “diary moments” during the difficult times, so as to reduce the level of disturbance posed by a cameraman. We also want to include a young woman, approx.16-25 yrs, in the group.
If you feel that you would like to share your experiences with others, please get in contact with us as we want to hear your story. Unfortunately, we cannot pay a fee to all those who appear in this documentary, however, we
will reimburse expenses within reason. We need you to provide us with some background information, so as to collate the data prior to production.
Please inform us with: a brief history of your condition, contact details, age, marital status, single, family, job etc. Additionally, if you have any
information connected to Endometriosis that you feel would be of interest or know of any unusual or inspiring circumstances, we would very much like to talk to you. Our contact details are as follows. e-mail:
