Thanks for responding. Appreciate this. What an honour.
I love your work and it would be a good fit with my documentary project. I have some stills of footage if you need to see too.

Totally understand if it is a too "heavy".
The doco will have lighter moments because I love dogs and my dog bob is featured in it. Those that would not speak to camera I film their doggies instead so bit of a theme there.
Also I have filmed a lot of graffetti in Australia to give it a real urban feel - like the photo.
I though your character would suit the "battle between good and evil" and "spirituality" I present in the film.
Love to get your feedback.
Regards,
Josie Gannon
Filmmaker (Indie project)
P.S. this film is dedicated to my sister who passed away 10 years ago and she was part of the "underbelly"

Here is the synopsis:

I AM ME – SYNOPSIS

When a prostitute goes into the game the first thing that is taken from her is her NAME. She get’s a new identity.

I AM ME is an exploration of the spiritual, political and cultural impact of the sex trade on the identity of “working girls”.

00Heaven hears from heaven and with her trusty dog Bob sets off on a noble ambition to seek out the truth around the sex industry. A journey venturing to the Red Light district of Kings Cross Sydney to the brothels of the historic mining community of Kalgoolie to the vibrant pulsating streets of Japan.

With dignity and compassion through the eyes of those who has been there I AM ME will bring inspiration and hope to many and will unpack and unravel the sex trade a billion dollar industry which is largely built on the backs and in the beds of our planets youth.

I AM ME seeks to demystify the sex industry, explore the gritty underbelly rather than the glamour. I AM ME will unpack the reality of prostitution. What are the levels? What are the practices? What is the ugly mugs & dodgy punters program? What is the relationship between the taxman and the prostitute? Is prostitution a normalisation of a commodity? Is the behaviour of our culture making the leap from partying in a nightclub to working as prostitution easy?

I AM ME will present these issues in its broader political and social context while maintaining the integrity of the victims’ voices. I AM ME will explore the sinister exploitation of child prostitution a shrouded crime in our country and bring attention to the tragic world of sex trafficking for prostitution which has become our modern-day slavery.
