First we had the idea of following LARP (Live Action Role Play) in an attempt to understand the reasons behind there hobby. That idea progressed into the inclusion of video gamers taking part in a LARP event to see how they adapted and coped with being placed in almost a real world video game. Then heartbreak just a few weeks before Valentines Day as we discovered LARP is a little more secretive and private than we first thought. It turns out that many Larpers are from professional backgrounds or careers and they use this activity as a release from there daily stresses at work. We heard that many Larpers are Lawyers, Solicitors, members of Armed Forces and Police Officers all of which didnt like the idea of there hobby possibly being brought to the attention of there monday to friday work colleagues and clients. After rejection from Larp clubs in the Nottinghamshire, Shropshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire and Kent regions it appeared as though we were going to struggle with this idea with the time scale we have.
We switched our attentions to Nottingham Panthers sniper David Alexander Beauregard who went through a challenging ordeal in order to achieve his dream of becoming a pro hockey player but again with a timescale shrinking fast a reply was needed FAST......it didn't come fast at all so we moved on again.
Now we are working on the idea of taking a look into the lives of people who live on your street. You live in your nice little two bed house on a nice quite street in a peaceful suburb of the city but who else lives on your street? Well, this is what we plan to identify in our documentary.
