>Dear Carlton,
>
>I apologise for contacting you out of the blue 
>but I wonder if you can help me. Â I am a 
>casting producer at a television company based 
>in London, called Cineflix Productions, where 
>I'm currently working on a new series for 
>international broadcaster, TLC, which is all about pregnancy.
>
>The ambition of the series is to explore the 
>common and unique issues that are thrown up for 
>individuals during pregnancy. In some cases, 
>this will be because of their lifestyle or the 
>situation in which they became pregnant, in 
>others because of a medical condition or 
>disability. Â We will be focussing on both 
>emotional and practical concerns, as we follow 
>pregnancies over a period of months, through the 
>birth to the first weeks at home. This 
>documentary series will be positive in tone, 
>celebrating triumphs and, we hope, challenging 
>misconceptions. We hope this approach may also 
>offer a new perspective on some of the lives we're looking at.
>
>One of my areas of research is blindness / deafness and pregnancy.
>
>I'm contacting charities, support groups, 
>medical institutions and online communities, to 
>see if it's possible to contact mums-to-be who 
>live with blindness and / or deafness. I'm 
>looking in the first instance, for Â expectant 
>mums who might be interested in talking to me 
>off-the-record and without obligation, about 
>their experiences for my research, and further 
>to that- Â if there is interest â€“ in 
>discussing the possibility of being filmed for 
>the series as they go on their pregnancy 
>journey. Â I have attached a letter of 
>introduction that can be passed onto anyone that 
>you think may be interested in knowing more about the programme.Â
>
>If you think this is something you might kindly 
>be able to discuss with me further, I'd love the 
>opportunity to chat to you on the phone, and/or 
>send over some of our 'official' series synopses etc. for your consideration?
>
>I hope very much to speak with you soon – my 
>contact details are beelow and I'd be delighted 
>to speak with you any time you have a spare five minutes.
>
>With all warmest wishes and thanks for your time
