Got this on another list and wanted to pass it along...

My name is Zach Marion and I work at Video Arts Studios in Fargo,
North Dakota. We produced the series House of Babies for the Discovery
Health Network. Under the guidance of master midwife, Shari Daniels,
at the Miami Maternity Center, the show follows couples during their
pregnancy and ends with the delivery of their baby. It was very
instrumental in raising awareness about non-clinical birthing
practices on a national level.

Recently we have been approached to create a one-hour special on
unique birthing practices worldwide. We are looking for families who
would like to share their story on camera from pregnancy to delivery.
Ideal candidates are expecting mothers due in or around early January
who are planning to give birth outside of a clinic or birth center.
This includes homebirths and beyond. The point of the show is to raise
awareness about alternative birthing options with the help of a
midwife in the US. Hopefully, the special will create a healthy
dialogue among midwives, doctors, parents-to-be and the general
public. Stories that are of particular interest are those that include
interesting traditions during pregnancy and unique backdrops during
delivery. For example, a Hindu family who want to deliver outside, or
a family of hippies who are pursuing a homebirth in a tent.

As you can imagine, access is usually the greatest struggle. Families
should be aware that our presence at the birth goes nearly unnoticed.
We learned to be unobtrusive through experience gained while producing
26 episodes of House of Babies.

Do any clients spring to mind who might want to be a part of this
project? I would greatly appreciate any and all contact leads. Feel
free to contact me by phone with inquiries or information. I am
available during weekdays between 8:00 and 5:00 CST. Thank you for
your time.
