If you're promoting transhumanism, you're necessarily going to look weird to a lot of people. Is there anything in transhumanism that doesn't look weird? (This is a real question.)

I think that depends on how you express transhumanism. Take life extension, for example. If someone wants to have the option of indefinite physiological youth, are they running desperately from the inevitable spectre of death? Or are they people who love being alive and don't want such a good thing to end? Both of these descriptions are probably accurate for most transhumanists, but the latter will go over much better with a popular audience. Even stuff that sounds like it comes from a cyberpunk story, like surgically implanted computers, can be made more palatable if it's for something like minimally-invasive glucose monitoring.

I don't care too much, but when people do polls they usually have a third comment labeled "karma balance" for people to downvote after choosing a side to upvote. This prevents people from creating polls just to get karma.

Now if you think I should not accept the movie Idea, and back away, click Down vote in this comment.

As Manfred says, you should ask questions about the film. Get to know more specifics about the movie idea. Film makers don't just grab a camera and start asking questions. They'll have some kind of theme and method. For example, are you talking to a silent camera, or is she asking questions from behind the scene? Will the movie culminate around an event (say, the days leading up to you going to the Singularity Summit, or a cryonics convention), or will it be a day-in-the-life-of kind of thing?

I think it is a great idea to make this movie, especially if she is any good at making them and has a track record of actually completing movies. When your group is largely unknown to the public, they can easily believe bad things about you. But if they know you and see you as a neighbor, or a friend, or the nice boy/girl that helps old ladies across the street, it will be harder for them to hate you.

Do your homework, though. Know the arguments people make against life extension. Know the standard counters to them, and know how to defeat those counters. Keep track of stories or metaphors that can catch attention or draw emotions, and be on the lookout for real-life examples you can show the camera. As an example that I am just now making up, you could compare cryonics to a cocoon, and give colorful imagery about emerging from the cocoon as a beautiful butterfly. Then, during the filming, if the camera happens to catch a butterfly doing something interesting, they can connect it to make their documentary more compelling. In other words, if you want to look good on film, you have to help the filmer(s) and editor(s) make you look good. Maybe, as time gets closer, you could start a thread for suggestions on topics, or arguments, or quotes. Though it is important to note that you shouldn't read from a card or otherwise have crappy delivery. If you can't make the argument your own, it would be best not to use it.

IAWYC. What Diego should have said is:

Society generally disapproves of uncommon ideas, such as wanting immortality. This disapproval increases when someone who believes such an idea ties it to their identity, for example by adovcating it in a documentary. Moreover, people tend to strongly oppose cryonics for their romantic partners, for reasons not entirely explained yet. The people I am romantically interested in (a subset of women from my culture) do not particularly diverge from the social average in this area. Therefore, I would likely hurt my romantic prospects with them should I take on the role of "the loon on TV who wants to be frozen".
