Six Degrees [Documentary]

Picture
A friend of mine once told me that everyone in the world is connected through six people (known as Six Degrees of Separation). That's a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend. I want to put that theory to the test.

What is the goal?

My goal is to find out if I can meet six of the biggest names in the world through fewer than six connections - celebrities, politicians, entrepreneurs; people that I feel have affected my life in a huge way - all to ask one simple question: how do you know me? ​

How will you do it?

My aim is to approach friends, family members, colleagues, course mates and lost connections in order to see if I can make contact with all six of the names on the list below through less than six people. All of the people I approach must use their own connections (i.e. people that they know personally) to help me track down and meet 'The Big Six'.

​I will be documenting my journey and putting together a one hour documentary or short film to be released online or on TV.

Who is on the list?

Picture

Elon Musk; Barack Obama; Hardwell; Impractical Jokers; John Oliver and Skrillex.


What will you do when you meet them?

My plan is to interview each of "the big six", as well as get them to participate in a number of undisclosed activities. The documentary will be fun, so what I have planned will be fun (for me, anyway).

What are the rules?

There are only two rules:

1. People can only use contacts that they know personally.
2. 'The Big Six' must be found through less than 6 people.

Why are you doing this?

I've got a strong desire to meet the people included on this list, and this documentary gives me the opportunity to try and do that in a fun, creative way, utilising my skills and experience as a videographer. Also, why not?

What do you plan to do with the footage?

My ultimate goal is to create a one hour documentary or short film showing my journey that I can share online. In a dream world, I would love to release the documentary on Netflix or an equivalent streaming service, or on TV through a broadcaster like HBO, BBC or Channel 4 (if you know anyone, hit me up).

​My current aim is to release the video in 2019 or 2020, depending on the success of the project.

What happens if you fail?

I won't.
