Opportunity for documentary and getting the message out there

This sounds like an awesome opportunity! Thank you Sarah for the idea.

Documentary seeking modern-day 'Tribes' (Nationwide)

Tribes' is filming this fall/winter in Oregon.

Tribes is a documentary featuring modern day tribes; groups of people with unique professions, hobbies, and interests...those who seek out other people to explore ideas and lifestyles that are off the beaten path.
These are the rebellious reactionaries, the relentlessly obsessives, the mark-makers, the underground crazies. The wrong, weird, and slightly demented folks that gather together in special places, following their desires with courage and conviction, working together to keep our world interesting..... They seek out others like them and form groups, clubs, secret societies, teams, possies, gangs and the like because organized society and mainstream culture just does not do it for them.

Do you belong to a second family....a group of 5 or more people who share a common identity/activity?
Do you interact with one another on a regular basis?
Does your group do something that you think is particularly photogenic?

Examples of modern day tribes are zoo bombers, Elks Lodge-type fraternities, boar hunters, religious groups, forest fire-fighters, even real Native American Tribes, etc...you name it.

Your tribe can be functional or dysfunctional. It doesn't matter, as long as you consider yourself a family and you're interested in talking about yourselves & being photographed.

We can only offer you a professional portrait taken by an extremely talented photographer as well as a mini documentary video on your group-an open platform to explain to the world who you are and why you do what you do.

Please contact us for more information. Participation will require 3 partial days of your time for filming.

Let us know:
–what your group is
–how many members there are
–what activities you do together that you would love to have documented/photographed
–where you are located
–any upcoming events in the next 6 months or other activities that would be fun to have filmed.
–if we were to interview 5 people from your group, who would they be and why.

Please include photo(s) of your group if available.
