Would love to make a bunny film :-)

Hi everyone,

I was thinking today (and yes, it hurt!), I think it's channel 5 that now accept films made by the public about issues that matter to them. Basically you shoot a video and send it in, then they feature it either on their main programme or on the website (and they give you some money for it if it gets shown).

I was thinking it would be great to make a film about rabbit rescues, and the issues caused by the way rabbits are regarded in society. Also, the lack of legislation could be covered - how there is no minimum legal requirement for hutch sizes, how unscrupulous breeders can cull their "unwanted stock" without having to have them pts humanely by a vet etc.

My friend did a film course and I was thinking I could ask him if he wanted to help out (he's a rabbit-lover too!). Would there be any rescues who could help out with filming in their premises, with maybe a few stories of rabbits who have come in after neglect or abuse, and how the rescue has fixed them up?

I can get working on a script of some sort if people would like to go ahead with it. Even if it doesn't get shown on Ch5 I'm sure I can make loads of DVD copies and people can use it for educational purposes.

What's everyone's opinion on this? I'd like to hear ideas and feedback if anyone has any! :D

I am sure if you talk nicely to us we will oblige to find you a location.

We tried to get nomitated for sky news a year ago to do one at Christmas for us, however they had so many nominations we didnt get picked.
 
My Dad is partway through making Watership Down 2 - the House Bunnies :lol:

We are struggling with the actors though. They keep demanding more carrots :roll:
