Hello fellow Pin Traders!

Many of you know my girlfriend and I for our pin trading only, but there is another professional side of me. I am a filmmaker and have worked on a variety of large-scale projects, and have produced some of my own as well. I have been a part of the pin trading world for almost a year now, and I am amazed with what a wonderful world the pin trading world is. I have decided to produce a short-documentary style film revolving completely around pin trading. I have already started filming sequences at various times in the park and at DSF, but I now turn to you, the ones that really make this world turn—The Pin Traders!

I would like to get as many pin traders involved as possible. I realize everyone has busy lives outside of the pin trading world, but if you’re willing to participate in this documentary please let me know. There is no buy in ($$$) to participate in this documentary it is 100% FREE to anyone who wants to participate. For the most part we would shoot a video interview and would ask these types of questions:

-Why did you get into pin trading?
-What keeps you involved with the pin trading world?
-What does pin trading truly mean to you?
-Have you ever hit a low point with pin trading and wanted to quit?
-What do you do outside of pin trading?
-Who is your favorite character(s) and why?

These are just a few sample questions that could be asked during an interview. These interviews can be shot at your home, my home, the DSF, DLR or at a pin trading event! I am very flexible. All names and identities will be labeled as either your PinPics ID or DPF ID. Our community is small, and we know each other’s real names, but for the sake of this documentary we will label you by one of the previously mentioned ID’s.

This is an opportunity for you to share your stories and show off your collections that sit at home for your eyes only! For those of you that do not live near the Disneyland area don’t feel alienated I want to hear your stories too! If you live outside of California or far from the DLR do not hesitate to participate via Skype or Facebook video chat! Your voice matters too!

All interviewees will be treated professionally and will not be slanted in any way to portray you in a negative light whatsoever. I am aiming to produce the most interesting and pure documentary that highlights our wonderful community. No community is without its drama, but I feel that this documentary will help others understand why we do and say certain things to each other. Everyone that participates will be treated as EQUALS!

If you agree to participate you will be given Credit in the film and you will receive a DVD copy of the film. If any of you have photos or videos related to pin trading that you would like to share you will receive a “Special Contributor†credit in the film.


If you would like to join this fun and exciting documentary please contact me via email. Please put “PT DOC†as the subject heading. I look forward to hearing from you all, and I hope to have the film completed by this summer!

Thank you!
 
Just a thought. I know a lot of people are going to try to be at Disneyland sometime during the first week of April since Docfish2u is going to be there on vacation. That might be a good time to go as well so that you can get interviews. :)
 
So I would totally want to do this...but I live too far xD But this is a really great idea. Can't wait to see it when it's made :D
 
i am one of the crazy people flying in that first week of april, there is a thread about it someplace here, maybe somebody can paste a shortcut.
so i would LOVE to be in it, i am adorable and wll only need a small dressing room, make-up and lighting and a Kraft service table and im all set!:cool:
 
I've always thought they should give us a TV show. It would be quality television. I'm mean C'Mon they give Boar hoggers a tv show

Yes with all the poor reality shows out right now I am surprised they have not done a continuous thing with Disney memorabilia.
 
Disney memorabilia has a huge following so I'm surprised there isn't anything about the people who follow it.

Yeah. I guess networks just think that the ratings would be weak because they probably think that the only viewers they would get would be the die-hard disney fans.

It could draw an audience you never know. When Pawn Stars aired I thought it was the stupidest pitches for a TV show, now that's all I watch
 
Haha. Yeah. I love Pawn Stars.
PAWN STARS ROCKS :rock:
Anyway, this sounds so cool! I am also too far to participate (not as far as Narnia, but still, pretty far). I can see this documentary becoming a reality show... sorta like Toddlers & Tiaras; where every week you follow 3 pin traders and make them cross paths and trade and/or get into a pin shark fight. I would faithfully watch that.
Sorry, I was daydreaming. Can't wait to see the documentary once you make it! :D
 
Hey guys! Thank you for your interest and I've received many emails already. I will be sending out more information very soon. Please spread the word, and lets get the interviews going! I'll be filming non-trading stuff tomorrow at the parks, but I may stop by the tables for a bit. Thank you to everyone! This is going to be great!
