I’m sharing an email from someone working on a documentary about couples and alternative relationships:

Hi there, I’m writing to you from HBO and BBC Worldwide productions. We’re working on a documentary film about couples, and are seeking couples in various alternative relationships who are interested in being interviewed for the film.I wanted to reach out to your organization and see if you know any couples who might be interested in being interviewed, and/or if you could forward our request to your participants.

We’re seeking NYC-based couples in all different types of relationships; gay, straight, poly, involved in the BDSM/kink scene, trans couples, etc. We’re primarily looking for couples in the 20-40 age range, but we’re open to all folks who are open and confident enough to talk about themselves publicly.

The documentary will focus on the secrets of successful relationships and throw light on how different partnerships can survive and thrive. The film is meant to be upbeat and positive, showing that whatever form it comes in, love is universal.

If chosen, the couple would only need to be available for one day of filming, during the month of August.

Anyone who is interested or has questions should feel free to call or email me any time. All inquiries will be in confidence, and there is no obligation to take part in the film. I’m happy to chat and answer questions!

Please let me know if you might be able to help us put the word out, and if you have further questions for me about the project, don’t hesitate to ask!

Thanks so much in advance for any help you can provide.

Take care,
Jess Ansary

Hi everyone:
We did have Happy Ending for Jul 4th, but we are going to something different. We’ll probably organize a group to go watch the fireworks on the Hudson. We’ll keep you posted!

Update:  Selina Fire is organizing a group to watch the fireworks. Plan on meeting beginning at 2:00 at Riverside Park South, Hudson River at 65th Street. More info, and a photo of where people are meeting are at:
