Documentary Participants with Unique Personal Life Stories Australia & Asia

Searching for a story that has not been told yet Hi Reddit, This feels a bit vulnerable to post, but the best stories usually start that way. I am a videographer and editor with a background in product design. Over the past couple of years I have been travelling across Australia and Asia, meeting people from many different cultures and backgrounds. Spending time with people all over the world has taught me how much we can learn when we slow down and really listen to one another. Those conversations have shaped how I approach storytelling. I have found that the documentaries that stay with me are not the polished or predictable ones. They are the unexpected stories. The ones where you have no idea where things are heading at the start. Stories that feel human, imperfect, and honest. I do not have a topic yet, and that is intentional. I am looking for a person, not a concept. Someone who feels they are at an interesting, difficult, or transitional point in their life. Someone who has lived something they might be ready to talk about. It does not need to be dramatic or headline worthy. Often the quiet stories are the ones that matter most. This would be a collaborative and respectful process. I am not interested in sensationalising or exploiting anyone’s experience. Empathy and trust are incredibly important to me, and you would always have a voice in how your story is told. You might connect with this if you are someone who: Feels like your story does not fit neatly into a box Is going through change, rebuilding, questioning, or starting again Has lived something unusual, challenging, or deeply personal Or you are not sure why, but this post made you pause for a moment If that is you, I would genuinely love to hear from you. You do not need to be “interesting”. You just need to be honest. Feel free to comment, send me a message, or ask questions. There is no pressure and no expectations. Even if nothing comes from it, I believe these conversations still matter. Thanks for reading!
