Small Businesses To Star In Documentary

There have been documentaries on all sorts of subjects, from people who dress as comic book characters ("Confessions of a Superhero") to the odd guy who tried to live with bears ("Grizzly Man").  It seems only fair, then, that small businesses are about to get some attention and screen time.

A post on the Small Business Blog from Microsoft explains, "Starting in Scotland on Monday 14 September, a crew of three (Emma Jones, Founder, Enterprise Nation; Tim Sargent, Mint Video; and Nick Clark, 1st Class Travel) will travel south to interview home business owners and talk to experts and politicians, with the team expecting to meet over 400 businesses at events and meet-ups over the course of the week."

From this footage, a documentary will be made.  Jones said, "We’ll be revealing the stories of people turning business dreams into reality and showing that home business is truly the bright spot of the UK economy.  Yet we don’t think enough is being done to allow home business to flourish – and it remains almost a hidden sector – so we’ll be calling for action from policy makers and politicians and recording their response."

The documentary should air on November 20th (AKA Home Enterprise Day).

Keep an eye out for it, and hopefully the film will do a good job of publicizing and promoting small businesses’ interests.
