Summary: Want to make reality TV, documentary series or unscripted specials? So did we. But when you're just starting out, how in the heck do sell documentary series or make reality tv? Seems like it wasn't that long ago we were living in our one bedroom apartment, creating show ideas, editing pitch reels -- and wondering what to do next. We didn't know a single person in Hollywood. It was impossible to get networks or production companies to take our calls. And agents...well, they wanted nothing to do with us. Breaking in seemed impossible. The two of us decided then and there that if we were ever successful, we'd find a way to reach out to aspiring producers and filmmakers. Fast forward to today. We own a successful TV and Film Production Company, we're currently working on three TV series and a handful of television pilots. We produce documentaries, make reality tv shows, and love every minute of it. And we're launching this podcast, Producing Unscripted. In episode 1 we break down: Why we're doing this podcast, and what's in it for you. Who the heck we are, and why that can help you.
