On The Lot Reality Show: Vote For My Film! by uchepilot: 8:31am On Feb 23, 2007 |
Hey guys, how's everyone doing? Just wanted to inform you all that I applied to be on a reality show here in America called "On The Lot." Those of you familiar with the shows "American Idol" or "Rockstar" might know the kind of show that I'm talking about. It's a new show that's being produced by the very famous Steven Spielberg and Mark Brunnet of Survivor and Apprentice fame. They're looking for 16 aspiring filmmakers from around the world. The show will be just like American Idol, airing live this summer. Every week, each of the sixteen filmmakers will have Dreamworks Studios at their disposal to make a short film, which will be aired and put on their website and America will get to vote on it. Each week one filmmaker will be eliminated until there's a winner. The winner will recieve a $1 Million development deal with Dreamworks studios amongst other things. The application deadline was February 16th, and I had submitted my movie CLIMACTIC for consideration. My application was accepted, and now they're reviewing all the submissions to start inviting people for inteviews in March. Howeover, part of that decision depends on how much each filmmakers submitted films are viewed on their website. Unfortunately, they uploaded my film pretty late in the game, so I have very low viewership count at the moment. I'm asking that you guys take a moment and check it out, if you can, please sign up on the website so you can rate my film and leave a comment. The more people I can get to see my film, the better my chances of being invited for an interview and possibly getting on the show. Here's a link to my film on their website. Please view it, rate and comment on it if you can, but most importantly spread the word to as many people as you can. I'll love to be on the show and represent for Nigeria. Thanks y'all and take care. Here's the link: http://films.thelot.com/films/6287 Remain blessed. Kenny |

How did it go? Sorry if it didn't work out! |

Yeah. No one cares about what goes on behind the scenes. If I was asked to create a reality show about film-making, I would start with a solid script and contestants will be asked to compete for the starring roles in the film. Those who are dropped out early would go home empty-handed while those who drop out later may be offered supporting roles in the movie. The entire show will serve as a massive advertisement for the movie and it will be a guaranteed hit. |

A hit movie requires a great story and a well-known and capable cast, right? - The selection process ensures that the cast is capable. - The TV exposure of the show ensures that they are well-known. So all the producer of the show needs to bring in is really great script and story. |

1) Reality shows turn their winners into celebrities i.e. well-known people 2) Being well known can't hurt your acting career because: a) If you have talent, being well-known causes your talent to be recognized. b) If you don't have talent, at least you'll have your 15 minutes of fame! but it's more likely that you're just setting yourself up to be forever remembered as "that guy from that reality show."Actually, it's more likely that you will drop out early and won't be remembered for anything at all. |

after like 15 years of reality shows and possibly thousands of contestants,Reality shows about musicians have created successful musicians. Reality shows about models have created successful models. But I can't remember any reality shows about actors. That's the simple reason why actors have not been created. Additionally, acting is not a solo act. No matter how well you can act, you won't shine without the right script, director, supporting cast, et cetera. Maybe that's why there have been no acting shows? |
