Dare To Dream ©
Greetings Realroaderz,
Just thought id share a peep at our up and coming Docu-drama which we aim to be commissioned by channel 4. The series is called “Dare to Dream” and is a reality based drama presented in the style of documentary. Featured on this project is our very own Gorilla Journalist Abdullah Moalim and Media Director Duncan Tinkler. The style of production is both innovative and interactive as it follows he lives of real young people trying to make their dreams happen for them in London. The series is divided into several episodes which evolve and change as the story progresses. All the characters are based on real people and their real lives. Realroadz present the viewer with an underground view on the reality of young people daring to break out of their box and explore alternative realities.
The dare to dream project is set to be broadcasted on British national television as well as several cable channels and online. The Realroadz team will design an online space where we will host all our episodes along with additional media and video footage from the project. There will be a forum to discuss what happens during the weather spoons and a chance to get involved with the project development as well as competitions and prizes to be won.
So far the Realroadz team have interviewed and assessed over 40 young people to be featured in the production, visited and assessed sets and locations across North West London, Designed and developed a provisional script & story board and discussed characters. The views and opinions as well as the characters and issues faced in this series have all been designed and developed in accordance with the needs and wants of young people. At Realroadz we pride ourselves on being able to actively engage and stimulate young people learning and development, that’s why all our work and projects are conducted with the close consultation and involvement from local young people in our community who are fighting to a positive change.
Dare to dream was an adaptation of the “Do we still dream” project proposed earlier this year. The project has received the attention and guidance of the Princes Trust and with the new team and management on the go - this production is set to be a blast!!
I have featured a sneak preview of some of the characters who are set to feature in this mind opening drama based documentary...
The project is expected to run until mid December and the content will be published as the programme develops on an exclusive official website which is due o be launched in several weeks time. Unfortunately the production will not be aired on national television until sometime around June 2011 so you’ll have to keep checking the official site to see what’s happening until then.
Dare to dream will provide viewers with an insight into the reality and barriers that are common in most young people living in this par of London and others like it. We aim to show people the similarities between young people in terms of aspirations, motivations and goals. We aim to inspire and educate viewers on self help methods which we be demonstrated and witnessed real life 1st hand - right off the roadz
