Contribute Anonymously to Cousin Couple Documentary

Published on by rainbowamoryLeave a comment

This was a submission from Delanie, a casting call for a cousin couples documentary. There have been similar ones before but the difference with this one is that you can submit your story ANONYMOUSLY. That would make a BIG difference for someone who may have wanted to educate the public about their life while keeping their privacy… so have a look at the details if you are interested.

Delanie’s Message:

Hi everyone!

My name’s Delanie and I’m the executive producer of a documentary filming in Los Angeles this spring about romantic cousin relationships in the United  States. This project is being made to bring positive attention to cousin couples and hopefully improve the public perception on this topic. My mother dated her cousin, so this is a personal passion project for me. I am looking for dating or married cousin couples, children of cousin couples, or friends/family of cousin couples that would like to contribute their stories ANONYMOUSLY. I understand that this is a sensitive topic and most people do not want to be on camera discussing it. If your story is chosen for the documentary, we will cast actors to portray you and share your experience. We will not use your real name(s) and will change any details you wish in order to protect your identity.

If you are interested in being an anonymous contributor to the project, please email me at delaniefischer@gmail.com. You will be provided with a questionnaire to fill out, and I’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you!
Delanie

Casting Call For Cousins

Another one! I can’t wait to see the results of these things.

Just sharing on my blog for anyone that might be interested in participating. There may be ways to participate that doesn’t involve appearing on film (you’d need to contact them and ask them). All details are in the above link. 🙂

Casting Call For Cousins

Are you dating your COUSIN?

(This was a casting call from August 2014)

Against all odds and everyone’s opinion, are you dating, marrying or involved with your COUSIN? Are you tired of disapproving family, jokes about your relationship and want to clear the air? Or perhaps you’ve kept your cousin-romance a secret and want to share your story?

We’re casting cousins…

This might be worth checking out for some of you. It would probably be best to e-mail them and find out the details of the project first, however, before you give out your information – just to protect your privacy and make sure you know the terms.

Coming out and educating people about these relationships can play such an important role in challenging discrimination and overriding ignorance. Just look at how far the LGBTQ community has come, by sticking together and being open about their identities.

No doubt it would take a lot of courage, but if you live somewhere where being with your cousin is legal and you don’t risk prosecution for discussing it openly, I urge you to consider participating. For the sake of others who are like you that are not so fortunate. Take advantage of these opportunities. People are capable of changing their minds for the better. Putting a face to the issue can make the difference between creating a more accepting society for you to live in and being pushed further into the closet by people who’s ignorance remains unchallenged.

They know the myths. Only you know the reality.
