I know this is a bit of a random one but I was wondering if anyone here had any experience in this field?
I'm currently a student and for one of my modules our creative (and possibly slightly crazy) professor has decided to go all out and assign a topic relating to kinship to each group. But instead of a researched essay or whatever, she wants us to create a short film.
She's given us a budget, and our topic is biological parents interacting for the first time with an infant who had been adopted (say 12-18 months).
We've got student friends to help out as adult actors, but I haven't the first clue how we'd 'borrow' a baby for filming!
We've got a registered carer to act as a chaperone, but other than that- no clue.
We had a brief look at modelling/tv extras sites but it looks like a nightmare of legalities and maybe excessive cost- we are on a student budget, after all.
Anyone have any ideas or insights? All would be appreciated.
