Hello
Have any of our people or producers ever thought about filming your models at some of these mud bog type of events ?Some could stay muddy long term and maybe find some new interest.
Play Safe

I can answer only from my own point of view. While what is suggested might be fun, it would be a poor business decision as a producer. I say this, for myself only, because there is a basic principle of business that says "stick to your business plan unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise.

If I was still active, I would find it compelling enough. I always sought diversity in locations, often successfully.

But I still wouldn't do it due to security/social concerns.

Rob tried to shoot some extracurricular stuff at a Mud Volleyball tournament way back when. Once one or more individuals caught on that it wasn't about volleyball, it got shut down quickly. I do have to point out that Rob was notorious for bringing the wrong kind of attention onto himself and others (I personally experienced it twice). But the fact remains that just one Social Justice Warrior can ruin your day in a situation like that.

It's just plain wrong to video people for purposes other than what they expect. However, I've always wanted to show up at such events with a camera. I would give them a real explanation and talk them into it.

I'd be right at home, we'd be having a good time, and I'd have model releases before it was over.

I say go for it. Summer strikes me as the sorta lady who is down for it and may actually show the guys a thing or two about driving a 4x4. I totally see her winching some poor bastard out after he gets bogged down trying to stunt for her.

If you do, let me know and I'll bring the Ram and a fresh set of swampers

I understand you can't do general public. That's why I said bring your own people.
