My story idea is to focus on the Jane Marie Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the recent Millbrook Marsh event.
The Axle: The recent Millbrook Marsh event raises awareness for Suicide prevention and offers helpful insight and resources.
The Riders: Al Vicere from the Jane Marie Foundation, someone that the foundation has helped through their programs and someone who has had a friend or family member use the program.
The Spokes: An interview with Al Vicere to get some back ground on the foundation and how people can get involved with the foundation. I would want to also ask him how he got started though it might not make the final story. I would also like to get B-Roll of the audience and their actions and reactions during the event. I would like to talk to some of the donors that have been able to help out with the cause. The last interview that I would like to conduct is one with someone that has been helped by the program. I understand that some people are very sensitive with their past and that they may not want to tell it on camera.
The Rim (What are the beginning, middle and ending of your story?)
1) Beginning: I would start with the speakers of the Millbrook Marsh event talking to the group with some B-Roll of the audience.
2) Middle: Some of the interviews with the donors for the foundation.
Ending: The results of the Millbrook Marsh event and how it is helping individuals and families do to the resources available.
