Hi everyone,

My name is Xander McGrouther, I'm a filmmaker from Bristol, UK. I am currently researching for my next project and I need to find someone who is willing to be a contributor for my documentary. This person must have particularly bad arachnophobia, but must also be keen to try and overcome their fear.

First of all I think it is important to state that anyone participating will not have to experience any contact with spiders if they do not wish to; I am not interested in distressing anyone in the name of entertainment, all potential contact will be through sessions with professional therapists and alike. However I do want to find someone who has a real desire and willingness to try to overcome their fear.

In addition to being interviewed about their arachnophobia the contributor will be required to attend a session with a phycological therapist who specialises in treating phobias, and attend a course designed specifically to address arachnophobia, both of which will be filmed.

Ideally I would like to find someone who is based in the South West of the UK for ease of accessibility, but don't let this put you off from contacting me if you live anywhere else in the UK!

Unfortunately I cannot offer any payment for participating, but I can cover the cost of all travel, food, accommodation (if needed) and I will obviously be paying for the professional treatment that will be part of participating. Plus there's a real chance you may overcome your arachnophobia! Filming will take place in Feb or March of next year.

If you are interested or would like more information please email me (preferred) or personal message me on the forum. My email is <!-- e --><a href="mailto:xander.mcg@gmail.com">xander.mcg@gmail.com</a><!-- e -->.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Xander McGrouther.
