Wild Obsessions on Animal Planet: the eagle edition

So I wonder if there was a way to convince the top brass of Wild Obsession and the @animalplanetca that I would indeed be the best candidate to participate on a 5 day shoot about eagles.

I'm in the running!


Dear Malcolm,

I just wanted to let you know that you have made it to the final three for consideration for the eagle program. 

We are now sending the videos off to the big bosses so that they can weigh in.

I will let you know next week and I wish you all the best,

Terra

Yes I am available (or at least my wife and family will endeavour to make it work).

I have one important date:  Friday June 7.On that day I am offering a free session of exercise/fitness to a group of children and their parents to promote my companyEXercise IS Therapy.  I am transitioning my way out of the classroom and into the parks and playgrounds providing exercise and fitness sessions for kids with autism and other special needs.

Obviously, an over the weekend shoot would be preferable, but I am willing to make any days work except for the June 7 date.

I hope that helps!!

On pins and needles,

Malcolm

HI Malcolm,

Sorry for the delay. We have yet to have our final meeting about this. Can you let me know however if you have any prior commitments between May 27th and June 15th? We will require about 5 days in a row but we are not sure what days as of yet. 

Thanks and I will be in touch soon, 

Terra

Hi Terra!

I am not sure if no news is good news...or if no news is bad news!

Please...put me out of my misery....or at least string me along for a little longer!

Ok...the final push on why me:

• ·      i truly love eagles.  if i wasn't human....i would want to be an eagle
• ·      i am more in love with the outdoors...which, by the way, is where eagles live...so that is a good fit.
• ·      my favourite character on the Muppets is Sam the Eagle.
• ·      i love to learn...because God knows I don't know everything...
• ·      i love to share...i'm a teacher...its what i do.
• ·      i am good at listening and following instructions...most of the time
• ·      i once heard as a kid that when finding a mate eagles soar high into the air and clasp talons during courtship rituals and do a free fall.  I have never researched whether that is true or not....because I want it to be true. 
• ·      i once witnessed an eagle smash into an osprey (who had just successfully scooped up a lake trout), and retrieved it before it fell back into the lake.
• ·      for many years i have watched resident eagles harass a pair of loons...hoping for a fluffy, baby,birdie snack...they were never successful

·      I would be honoured to have the opportunity to learn more about eagles and eagle habitat.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind Regards,

malcolm

I am a TOC. So I get to visit many different schools. This is one of them.

HI Malcolm,

I just wanted to let you know that we are waiting for a producer who is away to do a final review of the videos. I will let you know by the end of this week.

Best,

Hi Terra!

In a perfect world I would have spent the time making a fantastic production complete with titles and smooth editing. Alas...you get a one minute of raw tape!

Here I am in my one minute request to be involved in your production.

I am not against begging. Just say the word and I will send another minute of pure, unadulterated begging.

Good luck in your search for the best (me) candidate.

My contact information is below.

I live in North Delta.

Let me know if the link does not take you to the video.

Kind Regards,

Malcolm
