Documentary about allotment life

DOCUMENTARY LOOKING FOR ALLOTMENT STORIES





WILD PICTURES are an independent television production company based in London that specialises in quality, high end access based documentaries for all the major broadcasters like including BBC1, BBC2, ITV1 and Channel 4.



We are making a documentary and are looking to hear from people up and down the country who have allotments.



Allotments are quintessentially British and have become increasingly popular over the past few years with waiting lists growing ever longer as a consequence. As well as being a great way for people to produce food for themselves they can be a great deal more. Many allotments are communities of like-minded souls who look out for each others’ patch and share tips on the best way to guarantee a good crop of butternut squash. Others are hotbeds of competition where people strive to grow the biggest or best fruit/veg for the annual competition.



We’re looking for people who are passionate about their own allotment. So we’re looking for stories like these:



Are you passionate about your allotment? Does it take up most of your waking hours?!

Maybe you’ve won growing competitions like the biggest or the best fruit or veg?



Are you part of a group of allotmentees who have become like a family to you?

Do you have rather charismatic allotment neighbour who has been there for years?

Are you part of a highly prized allotment with a very long waiting list?



Or has your allotment become the subject of strife for whatever reason?

How competitive are you or fellow allotmentees?

Do your fellow allotmentees drive you mad because their raspberry bushes are more bountiful or because their patch is a disgrace?



I’d love to hear from you, as we are interested in all sorts of allotment stories hearing from people from all sorts of allotments from all areas of the country so either drop me an email or give me a call and let me know what it is that makes your allotment experience different.



If you think your allotment has something going on about that we should hear about then please do get in touch on the details below.
