Joke and Biagio’s New Podcast: It’s All About You

A Grand Experiment

Producing Unscripted Joke Biagio Make Reality TV Documenary Series 200x200

As you know, awhile back we started an experiment.

Despite warnings from our agents and lawyers, we started accepting show pitches from people willing to sign a submission agreement.

That experiment has paid off.

We credit our unorthodox outreach in helping put CAGED on MTV, GHOST INSIDE MY CHILD on BIO, and to finding our latest MTV True Life Presents: SECRETS, LIES, AND SEX, and most importantly, helping new producers and filmmakers break into the business.

But We Can Do Better For You

We often say things like “send us your show pitches” and “make great tape.”

Sure, easy for us to say. We’ve been doing it for a decade. But statements like that aren’t helpful to you.

So we’ve been working to make it easier for you to pitch shows to us.

Our New Podcast: Producing Unscripted

Over the last month, we’ve secretly been recording a new podcast called:

Producing Unscripted: Make Reality TV Shows and Documentary Series with Joke and Biagio.

Hopefully, by teaming up with us.
