Furry Documentary in Progress
18 years ago
Wolfie!
I had written an article on Furries for www.sloz.info... not a great
one in my book, but nevermind.
Then I had an IM from Shelly who works with SBS, She made the Podlove*
documentary on the Aussie couple who work in the club on SL.
(these two were also later seen on a similar story by Aussie 60 minutes)
She wants to do a doco on furries, so... we made plans to meet in the
city.
We had lunch together in Degraves street in Melbourne and talked about
Furries, the Culture, Art etc as we had a lovely flat white.
It looks like she wants a very even account of who we furries are
both on SL and in RL, with possible RL meetings, visits to cons etc.
Budget for the doco is *fairly good* :)
It was suggested that overseas trips may be Involved with me going to the US or people from the US coming here.
Interstate trips to meet friends or go to cons, gatherings may also be done.
At one point I mentioned fursuits and said that although a lot of furries have them, that I don't personally have one.
She said that there's probably enough in the budget to cover the cost of having a fursuit made if I wanted to explore that, which is amazing as
they can cost upwards of $2,000au
She wants me to keep in close contact and e-mail her so that she can gather ideas together and start the ball rolling.
I had no idea it would be like this, I expected the entire doco would be for five minutes, as the previous "podlove" was, I thought I'd merely
speak for two minutes and go home. but this looks like a fairly long-term project.
I'm a bit shocked.
