Marc Summers and Shooters currently have a television series on the air — Food Network’s “Dinner: Impossible” — as well as a new Food Network series scheduled to premiere in 2010.

We are working on idea for a prospective new series that will document families intentionally trading in status quo lifestyles for something different (ideally, a rural homestead with limited access to modern conveniences). We imagine this show being structured something like the series “Little People, Big World” on TLC, which perhaps you’re familiar with – each episode would highlight different goings-ons in the lives of a family as they say goodbye to their current home and work to build a new lifestyle that lacks the conveniences they’re used to, but that offers so much more.

My reason for emailing is this: I’m looking for families that might be downsizing from a traditional home to something less traditional: A rural homestead, an urban homestead, etc.  We are seeking families with at least two children between the ages of about 4 and 17 who are about to make changes along these lines, and who’d be interested in hearing more in consideration for such a series.

I recognize the irony present here: Your readers are giving up conventional living to decrease the presence of media in their day-to-day, and here I am trying to document their move!  I assure you that we are committed to quality, honest, programming that aims simply to profile intentional living.
