BBC3 – The Adult Season – Small Teen Big World

Posted in BBC, Production stills, Television, Uncategorized Tags: , , ,

On May 28th 2010, I photographed for Nine Live Media’s Small Teen Big World, a programme for BBC3′s Adult Season. Got to spend the day in beautiful North Wales, with a small intimate crew documenting 16-year-old Jasmine Burkitt and her mum Bev. The show airs on July 27th on BBC3 at 9pm. Here’s a breakdown of the show from the BBC’s website:

Being a teenager is tough, but for 16-year-old Jasmine Burkitt it is even harder, because she is just 3’8″ tall and only fits clothes designed for a seven to eight-year-old.

The 12 months captured in this documentary are the most important of Jasmine’s life so far. She goes to New York to meet others with similar genetic conditions; camps out at her first pop festival; celebrates her sixteenth birthday and tries to contact her estranged father who is average size. Unexpected events in this engaging teenager’s life make this a compelling film.

Here’s a clip from the show:

Big thank you to Kate Deadman, Kerry Brierley, Cat Lewis, Jas, Bev, Naomi and Ray for a brilliant day.

Rich James - Completely agree with previous post, you both completely touched my heart. Jaz, you are such a sweetie (my baby girl is called Jasmine too!), you have done so well and overcome so much – your Mum should be (and clearly is) so proud of you. Speaking about your Mum, what a fantastic personality and what a lovely relationship that you both have.
Forget the idiots in this world, they’re just pathetic if they feel the need to ridicule you in any way – you are both worth a million times more than them.
All the best to you both for the future! Rich
