HOT TIP (June 14, 2013) REALITY TV… (“Got an Idea, Need an Agent”) (For all Hot Tips go “MOVIE CLOUD” & “LIKE”) -------------------------------------------- REALITY TV: It is not a fad, it is not a gimmick, it is here forever. Why? Answer is simple: It’s Cheap-to-Make. It’s also, when pitching, called “Non-Scripted TV” and within the concept of reality TV lies a problem that, contrary to “Scripted TV” (Sitcoms, Dramas, etc.), it’s shows, after they’ve aired once, have no shelf-life, little-to-no-rerun value, but a little bit of foreign licensing value. Okay. Okay. Never mind re-selling, licensing, re-running you just want to get it made…You got this great idea. It is so easy to make. The TV viewers will love it. It’ll get the rating. It will sell ads. There are loaded internal opportunities for additional “Product Placement” revenues. Now, if you only had someone to “Pitch” it to. You’re not naïve (yeah, yeah, you took my class), you know that no one “Owns an Idea”. Thus, you’ve written a Treatment, you’ve spent $20 and registered with the Writers Guild of America and now all you need (again) is someone to “Pitch” it to. I hear ya. Allow me to give you the name of 12-15 Agents at one of the largest agencies in America, “WME” (William Morris Endeavor), that actually has a department set aside solely for “Non-Scripted TV” AGENCY: William Morris Endeavor ADDRESS: 9601 Wilshire Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 PHONE: 310-285-9000 “NON-SCRIPTED TV” Department Agents: 1) MARK ITKIN (Head) 2) LANCE KLEIN (Head) 3) SEAN PERRY (Head) 4) COLLIN RENO (Head) 5) IVA FISCHER 6) ADAM GELVAN 7) AMANDA KAGAN 8) CHRIS NEWMAN 9) JUSTIN ONGERT 10) LAURIE PAZMANTIER 11) JOSHUA PYATT 12) ERIC ROVNER 13) MATTHEW SAUL 14) AMIR SHAHKHALILI 15) DAVID SHERMAN 16) LEE WHITE There, you’ve got the name and phone number for 16 agents that specialize in “Reality TV”; you got an idea; you written and registered the “Treatment” and now need someone to present (aka: “Pitch”) it to who can shepherd you through the system…. …Now, it’s up to you. The saying is “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make ‘em drink”. Please, to get real I beg you to not take a $50,000-$250,000 2-4 year film program and please, please, please attend my cut-to-the-chase “2-Day Film School”. www .DovSimensFilmSchool www .WebFilmSchool www .DovSimensFilmSchool God Bless, Dov Simens/Co-Founder/MovieCloud ************************************* INDEPENDENTS UNITE!
