TV production studio seeks help with transgender documentary

Hi Dr. Reed,

I’m a casting producer with Pie Town Productions, a television production company based in Los Angeles, California. During my research, I came across your information and specialization in this area and wanted to touch base with you.

Our company is currently in the early stages of developing a documentary-style series that would follow a couple as one of the partners undergoes a gender transition. We are looking to make a thoughtful series that could potentially shatter misconceptions and stereotypes about those transitioning genders — and be relatable to all — no matter your sexuality.

As we begin our casting process, I wanted to see if you might be able to share information about our project with your clients – and/or have any suggestions of organizations / couples within this area whom we should contact. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

A little about us…Pie Town Productions, a Power Up! award-winning company, was founded in 1995 and has produced over 3,200 episodes of programming in a variety of formats from daily series to network specials to weekly reality shows. Our client list over the last fifteen-plus years includes: Discovery, TLC, Paramount, A&E, WE, Lifetime Television, Logo, CMT, Discovery Heath, the Food Network, and HGTV. We’ve brought over 44 series, 36 special projects, and 1 feature documentary to the market, including the Emmy-award winning A Baby Story. We are currently producing the new Food Network hit, Chefs V. City and WE’s new family docu-soap, Downsized. To see more about our programming go to www.pietown.tv < http://www.pietown.tv/>

Again, any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much for your time!

I look forward to speaking with you.

Warm Regards,

Nina Corbett

Good morning Nina,

Real simple.

Enter http://groups.yahoo.com/
then specify our group name

MTF-SRS-FTM

This is an adult group, so there are a couple of dance steps you need to go through, and voila. You are there.

Your personal comments would be most welcome.

Have a restful weekend,
