Got this in the email folder the other day, thought y’all might like to know.
Hello,
I’m currently casting for a pilot television show about preppers/survivalists. I think you may be a great resource for finding well prepared people, who would be open to appearing on camera. I’m wondering if you would be willing to post this info on your blog or website, or just pass this info along to anyone you think would be interested.
The gist: It’s a 30 minute show, and we will feature two stories. We are mostly interested in seeing what the person has prepared or prepped, and right now we’re specifically looking for someone with a stocked bunker or extensive prep. The idea is to meet the person and see what they’ve prepared, then bring in a survivalist expert to evaluate how long you could actually live for if a catastrophe were to happen.
The purpose of the show is not to exploit beliefs, we actually want to cast people who the viewers will be able to relate to. We also want to feature someone who has prepped extensively, either in the home, or in a bunker. We really want something visually stunning.
This has been extremely hard to cast because of the secretive nature of the people who are preparing–which is completely understandable. I am contacting you because I think it’s important to get the word out about survivalists/preppers–that they aren’t all crazy people, that most of them are smart, well-informed people who we could take a lesson from. And I am hoping you will be able to pass this info along if you know someone who may be interested in participating.
We can provide full anonymity, and compensation is $1000 for the person who is chosen.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for your time!
Michelle

OPSEC says nogo on this one
I just wish I was prepped enough to meet their qualifications…
Doesn’t say who is behind it. Some usual “reality TV” group?
Uncle mentioned it with a link. It’s a Seattle group called Screaming Flea Productions.

Full anonymity while being exposed? How’s THAT work?
I’m skeptical.
“a stocked bunker”
“or in a bunker”
Agenda showing, maybe? One of our free local weeklies was doing a piece on burglar defense a while back and contacted me. I was dating the art director, and she “may have” made oblique references to my concerns/preparations about burglars. The editor himself was doing the piece, and he wanted not just what preparations I’d made, but wanted to use my name and address. I said I have a cat who makes a fuss when people come to the door. He printed it as stated, which put me at the bottom of the list, defense-wise.
I also had a discussion with art director/girl friend about telling tales out of school.
