Chicago Area Belegrim: Media Opportunity

Postby Dominick Stoneskull » Fri May 15, 2009 12:16 pm

I'm not on these boards as much as I should be; hope this is the right place to post.

A high school friend of mine who now works as a freelance journalist contacted me earlier this week:

So a fellow reporter is attempting to do a piece on LARP in/around Chicago. We're looking for someone (multiple people, preferably) who'd be willing to go on camera for a few minutes, talk about why/how/logistics etc. It's a serious piece about the culture etc., that would go on TV in Chicago, and online.


The reporter's name is Aubyn Niemi (in case you'd like to look up other work she's done). If you or someone you know might be interested in participating, she can be contacted at aubynniemi2009 at u.northwestern.edu.

Many thanks to Eris for clarifying board rules regarding posting email addresses.

Do you when she is doing the piece, Dominick? T & I will be in the area sometime in July visiting folks.

The hero Belegarth deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A Viking *.

I'm not sure, but I think it's planned for next month. I've asked, and am awaiting reply.

My apologies for the delay in response; I've been sans internet for the last couple of weeks.

Apparently her deadline is coming up fairly soon, so July won't be a possibility after all.

I sent her what more email addresses I could find, but I'm having some trouble finding contact information of Shaelyn or Moxkh.

However, she was out at Spring Wars last weekend, and it sounds like she got some great footage!

She was probably the woman we scared off during Shiv's barrel...oops...

I guess we were playing a bit too rough for her tastes.

She's finished it! It's a bit heavier on Dag than I'd expected, but it's still darn good.

Not what I expected... Definitely not what I expected...
There's no room for heroes in the country called War. There's no one out here but soldiers and sorry * and it's damned hard to tell the difference between the two of them. The gods of war are a pack of random bastards, as indiscriminate as hand grenades and hailstones.

Yeah. I like it, and I think she did a great job at it, but it's not quite what I thought she was going for. *shrug*
