Do you live alone?

(And would like to take part in a documentary?)

More people live alone now than at any other point in human history - the number of people living on their own around the world has risen 80% in the last 15 years. In 2012, 34% of UK households have just one person living in them.  

Would you be interested in being interviewed as part of a project exploring people’s experiences of living alone? I am a filmmaker who will be making a documentary in London over the summer which will address these questions:

·         What’s it like to live on your own? 

Do  most people living alone choose to do so? Why?

What are the positive aspects of living on your own? What are the negatives?

How does living alone affect your happiness and productivity?

Does living on your own make you more sociable/active in the community? Do you foster stronger friendships and support networks?

Is there a link between living alone and suffering from periods of loneliness/depression?

Does the readily available use of social media/internet/technology mean that people who live on their own do not feel alone?

Why do more women than men live alone? 

·         Is living alone more appealing to introverts or extroverts?

Is age a factor in whether people like  living on their own?

 Does living alone for a long time make you selfish? Does it heighten your eccentricities?!

If this sounds like a project that you would like to be a part of please get in touch with Lizzie and we can arrange an informal meeting so you can find out more. I am aiming to talk to as many different people as possible and would love to hear about your experiences (even if you don’t want to be filmed!).
