Otherkin documentary: British wolf

Hello all,

As I have read from your community I can tell your aware of a recentlyl documentary done by zigzag productions about otherkin. I participated in this documentary, though I have no actually seen it yet. I can only hope that from what questions I was asked and what things they were interested that my husband and I are not seen as complete idiots. I dont know anything about the other otherkins that were interviewed but I can speak for my husband and my self that while the whole process was a tad intrusive the reason why we choose to do it was for all the awakening kin out there that think they are alone. I had a feeling I would get a lot of flack from the otherkin community for doing this, which is fine as I didnt do it for them. I just wanted to say that my experience with the production team was that they asked very respectful and insightful questions, they were genuinely interested and never did anything my husband and I were not comfortable with. I hope I get a chance to watch it soon, though I can imagine watching my self on t.v will be a very odd experience.

I'd like to thank you for participating, Kimberly/Luna.

To me it's a start for the community and honestly, that's important.

And thanks for being candid about you and your husband's motivations. I think it's really nice to see all the candid personal motivations for participating before and after production, even though the community has been a bit on guard about this documentary since the beginning.

Personally, I get that yeah, TV shows won't cover or fit all of us and there's only so much the producers can do in a typical TV spot. (And there's always something that's gonna have a flak quotient -- it's TV after all.)
