TV documentary looking for people

I've been asked to post this from a TV production company looking to do a documentary about young people and money..

If you can help them - or know someone that might help - please get in touch directly with them - not ME!

here you go

We are currently looking for young people to take part in a series of documentaries for Channel 4 based around money issues.

We are hoping to get in touch with people aged between 16 and 21 who feel that money is affecting the decisions in their life.

Perhaps they are managing debts and can’t control their spending, or maybe finding inventive ways of making money in order to keep up with the latest trend? Have they recently come into a lot of money and don’t know how to cope with it? Maybe they are still living with their parents, Or Have they rejected the materialistic lifestyle altogether in order to seek the simple life? We aim to include all of these perspectives, so please put us in touch with anyone you think may be suitable.

Each film will focus on a different financial situation; it will be lead by a young person facing a dilemma. They will be shown in the daytime and are intended as educational tools, they will be aimed at other young people to provoke debate. Betty Tv’s previous productions include ‘This Teen Life’ (2003), which won a RTS educational award, and ‘Rude Britannia’ (2004) which has been nominated for an RTS award. Betty TV has a commitment to making quality programmes for and about young people.

Why are we making these films? Young people in Britain have never had more disposable income, their attitudes to money and spending are being formed earlier than ever before. In an increasingly aspirational society, the pressure is on to look good, have the latest gadget, and be seen in the right places. Betty TV wants to look at many issues connected with the pressure of living in a material world. We aim to find out how young people really feel about money, and examine the consequences of the spend now, pay later generation.

At this stage we are eager to meet and chat to young people who may be interested in becoming involved. Their opinions are what really count and we would like to hear them directly. Please help by putting them in touch.

Kind regards
