Hello Expats,

My name is Jackie and I am doing a research for a potential documentary of television pilot. I am a student in my last year of studies in a prestigous school for television and film production. In our last year we get into groups and pitch an idea to a group of execuitives and if green lighted begin the hard journey to producing, scripting, financing, shooting and editing our own television series, documentary, film and so on.

Right now we are in the midst of ideas and I have always been intrested in the lives of expats what made them decide to pack up their life from home, leave their 8-5 job, family and old self to explore a whole new side of the world and their identity.
This can either be turned into a scripted pilot if some stories peek interest or are inspiring or if I find people willing into a documentary about the characters that take the leap of faith.

I hope this is enough explanation and i look forward to hearing from those of you that are willing to share their story
Here are some questions to peak interest.

1. What are you currently doing as an expat?
2. Why did you choose the country you are in?
3. What changes have you made since you arrived (career, habits, interests, identity)
4. What type of people have you met while being abroad?
5. What was home like and how are you different from the person you were then to who you are now?
6. What is your favourite part of the place you live in?
7. What is the city you live in and how is it culturally different from where you are born.
8. What is the craziest experience you have had. (with a local, an expat or on your own)

If are interested could you email me and send some answers to the questions above and information on your story to
M_Levy22@yahoo.ca

and we can discuss this further

Thanks is advance.

Jackie
