Dear Corrie Kaufman,
As I do not have the footage you seek, please accept my apologies in advance for the unorthodox venue of contacting you from Spain. This just happens to be how I learned of Actuality Productions.
I am an independent, American TV producer of factual entertainment based in Madrid and managing an international crew network spanning Spain, Portugal and Latin America. Our credits include National Geographic and Discovery Channel. I'd greatly appreciate your referring me (name, title and email will suffice) to those responsible at your company for hiring production crews so we can offer our services.
Additionally, I'd welcome a similar reference to your Development department in order to send in a few programming ideas for consideration.
Can you help? It would certainly be most appreciated.
Best of luck in your continued research!
