Wow, you guys just saved me so much time in my process of pitching reality ideas. Soooo glad I watched this episode again before I went any further in editing my pitch. I'll have to re-look at what I've done thus far and go back to these simple steps. Makes perfect sense to do this way. I've spent a lot of time in LA, but now that I'm living back in the Midwest raising my kids in a different environment, having this kind honest access and insight to refer to is golden. Many Blessings to you both and your growing family. Thanks again.
Thanks, Karl. So glad to know you found it useful, and thanks for sharing. Biagio grew up in Cleveland, so we know the midwest well :-) Best of luck with all your creative endeavors. Best, J&B
+All Aboard TV Thanks so much -- big take away we always want for people is that you don't have to (and should NOT) spend tons of money trying to break in the industry. Lots of time? Yes. Lots of cash? No.
Another Suggestion : Put episode # in the title. Ex. E4: Develop Reality TV Shows Without Going Broke : 5 steps - It took forever to find your first 7 episodes that you suggest to watch to pitch a show with you the right way. xo
One thing's for sure -- you can easily break the bank trying to develop TV shows -- and shooting video pitches -- if you don't know how to start. These steps will keep you from wasting time and money on shows that don't have a chance...and help you better use your resources so you up your odds for unscripted TV success.
