Our new resource on pitching reality TV is a free guide and ebook I coerced Joke into writing with me :-)
We set out to make it the ultimate free resource about pitching reality TV anywhere on the web.
Our TV Shows and YOU
As many of you know, we work extensively in Unscripted Television, and have made over 100 hours of TV at our reality TV production company Joke Productions.
And we’re big defenders of new talent.
Awhile back we started accepting pitches for documentary series, reality TV shows, and factual programming from those of you who read our blog.
We’ve Put Three Projects On TV With You
So far, Ghost Inside My Child, MTV’s True Life Presents: Secrets, Lies, and Sex, and MTV’s Caged have come from this outreach.
Along the way, we started Producing Unscripted.
It’s our blog and podcast aimed at helping those pitching us learn the right way to create, pitch, sell, and make reality TV shows and documentary series.
We even started a free members-only portal to make pitching to us easier.
So yes, we really do want to work with you!
How to Pitch a Reality Show
One of the problems we kept running up against is that there is some bad web advice out there. There are sites that will tell you how to pitch reality shows…but many of them get it wrong. Without bad-mouthing them, we’ll just say that we believe these posts mean well, but were put out by people who haven’t sold or made a lot of TV shows.
Because of these sites, we’ve received a slew of shows through our portal that are pitched wrong. We can tell, because they’re all pitched wrong in the same way.
Our solution: write a 10,000 word, free guide that dispelled myths and helped people focus their pitching resources.
So if you’re interested in making reality TV in any way, shape, or form, or have ever wondered what it takes to pitch reality shows, please check out “How to Pitch a Reality Show”.
