I am a producer/director, for Renegade Pictures in the UK. For the past ten years, we have been making a beautiful television series called New Lives in the Wild. Our host, spends time with people who have chosen a different path in life, often off-grid in some of the most remote places in the world, where he immerses himself in their lifestyle. The episodes are extraordinary profile films, a celebration of our choices and how life works for different people. The series now airs in 70 territories and is known internationally as Where The Wild Men Are.
Having seen Nomadland we realized how many scenes and conversations mirrors so much of the brilliant people and their circumstances that we have filmed and experienced in recent years. Channel 4 in the UK have now asked us to make a two-episode special where we visit with several ‘nomads’/vehicle dwellers in the US. Not just those of retirement age, or workampers, but the whole gamut of ages with strong, varied motivations for vehicle living full time and interesting backstories. It would mean taking up 2-3 days of your time in late August / early September. Please contact me for additional information if you are interested in participating and telling your unique story!
Very best wishes,
