MTV's "True Life" Looking for Parents Estranged from their Child(ren)

[MTVTrueLife]

MTV’s Emmy-nominated documentary series "True Life" explores remarkable real-life stories of young people. Crosstown Media, a production company that produces many of the "True Life" episodes, is currently accepting submissions for their latest episode – "I’m Looking for My Child."

Having lost contact with a loved one is a difficult situation for anybody – and when that loved one is their own child, that feeling of loss and desire to connect (or reconnect) must be significantly greater. "True Life" wants to explore what it’s like for a young adult who desperately wants to unite (or reunite) with their long-lost child...and we want to document the journey of that person trying to make their dream come true.

"True Life" takes an intimate and unobtrusive approach to their storytelling. The entire production crew consists of just one person – a producer with a camera...that’s it. We capture the story over the course of approximately two months. Because "True Life" is a pure documentary series, we are not permitted to aid, assist, or finance anyone’s search. That’s why we are looking for self-sufficient young adults (approximately 16-30) who plan to be very aggressive with their search for their child.

So if you have lost contact with your child for any reason, and are desperate to have your child back in your life – we want to hear from you. If you would like to share your story with us, please email us at casting@crosstown.tv and include your name, age, location, contact information, description of your story, and a photo of yourself. Time is of the essence, so please let us know by phone or email in the next day or two if you are interested. Thanks so much!
