Blog Entry: So It looks like MTV is doing a true life series called I Have Acne. I think this will be a really great show for them and acne sufferers.  I know when I had severe acne I would have loved to watch a show and seen how others coped with it.  Im curious as too how many people they will follow and see what the regimen consist of. Here are some exceprts form MTV. This hour-long episode of MTV's award-winning documentary series, "True Life" will follow three young people between the ages of 15 and 25 as they struggle to manage their severe acne and the personal issues they face stemming from their skin problem. Some examples of young people who might be appropriate for this documentary are: - A college student whose acne makes them feel so uncomfortable in social situations that have decided to seek out therapy to help them handle their social anxiety. - A teenager who has tried everything and has decided to use Accutane despite it's potential side effects and expense. - A young professional who has tried everything possible to clear their skin and is going to try an unproven natural method. Our small digital video crew will follow these three young people as they work to change their skin or they way they feel about it. We will follow each person for a few days at a time over the course of two and half months as they pursue their chosen course of action. “True Life” is not a reality show; it is a documentary series. The show’s producers follow a strict set of ethical guidelines, carefully avoiding influencing their subjects’ stories. It is also not a news show; it does not have a host or narrator. The show’s producers simply follow their subjects, trying to capture as much real life as possible and allowing their subjects to tell their own stories. http://truelife.mtv.com
