Hi Loki,
I apologise for my very slow response. But I wanted to say thank you for your email and though I spoke with a number of people involved in the Vampyre scene, unfortunately we didn’t continue with the producing of this story.
All the best,
Emily

Hi Emily,
I had an interest in the Vampyre scene a decade ago but no longer for various reasons ... I suggest that you contact vampirefreaks.com or similar site or go to NYC to some club when there is a party.
You can also live a message on our forum as some of our members might be interested. But remember it is a shallow subject and there are some myths that deserve better attention.
Good luck,
Loki

Hello -
My name is Emily Potts and I’m a researcher for a TV production company called Beyond Productions based in Sydney, Australia. Beyond Productions specializes in factual and documentary style programs for both Australian and US networks. One such program that you may have heard of is the highly successful show ‘Mythbusters’, which we produce for Discovery USA. Another program that we have been producing over the last four years is a series for the National Geographic Channel called TABOO.
Taboo is a long running, prime-time, anthropological series which explores varying rites, rituals, celebrations and lifestyles from across different cultures around the world; lifestyles which are often considered taboo for a majority of people. For example, in our last series we explored the notion of obesity - can it be accepted, and can it be beautiful?
By presenting real stories interspersed with interviews from leading authorities in the field, we aim to demystify the taboos, shine light on human behavior and hopefully encourage a better understanding and acceptance for those living outside what is perceived ‘the norm’.
I am currently looking at potential stories for the new series, and one that we are interested in exploring is a story on Vampyres. I have done some research on Vampyres (this site helping me enormously!) and so I was wondering if I might be able to speak to someone from the website who is involved in the Vampyre Lifestyle. Or if you are able to suggest how I might go about getting in contact with a Vampyre? It's my hope to find someone who is able to speak with me about what it means to be a Vampyre so I am able to shape a story that best represents the community at large.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks.
Emily Potts
