    Calling all Babylon 5 Fans! Would you like to appear in a documentary
    about the Babylon 5 fandom?
    September 6, 2013 at 9:32am
    Studio JMS has commissioned a documentary about the fans of Babylon 5! If
    you were at Phoenix Comicon you have run into people making it, perhaps
    even been interviewed already.

    Except we need more! And to that effect, the creator of the documentary
    has requested that I reach out to the B5 fan community to solicit
    interviews over webcam!


    The details are as follows:


    Interview Length: 15-30 minutes depending on the subject and how deeply
    they answer each question.
    Software Needed: Skype, Facetime, or Google Hangouts all work. If you have
    a webcam he will record the stream!
    The Questions: Pretty standard stuff. How did you get into the show? What
    does it mean to you? The usual.
    Format: The interviews can either be recorded live, or you can record
    yourself at any time and upload it to Youtube or Vimeo.
    When will we be filming? In order to accommodate as many schedules and
    time zones as possible, the answer is anytime except Monday through Friday
    PST from 8AM-11AM and 1PM to 5PM. Weekends at any time are welcome.
    Interviews will be running until December, 2013, so there's plenty of
    time!
    How big a fan do I need to I be? To quote the documentary makers:


    "I'm looking for fans from casual to hardcore, all are welcome. The more varied, the better. One of the points of the doc is to talk about the inclusive nature of the show and I want to show that reflected in the fanbase."


    That about covers it! Those are interested feel free to respond in the comments or send me a message!

    Sadly, I've only seen this on Facebook so no clue if there is a non FB way
    to contact them to be a part of this. Really sad because of how amazing
    the usenet fandom was to Joe and the show.
