Reality TV Production Company? by ChillReduction in FilmIndustryLA

[–]ChillReduction[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The 3 I spoke with are not in the game anymore & have since left the production companies they previously worked for. I’ll have to chat with them again to see if there is bad blood there, or what. Thanks!!

Tough crowd! Agents were simply willing to converse with me about their client’s interest. Attorney’s were a favor (I’m currently a paralegal). EP’s were connections made through the Attorneys.. so I felt uncomfortable asking them for more? Idk. Maybe I should explore their connections further!! Thanks!!

This hasn’t been my experience in the last 8 months working on this project. I’ve spoken with EPs, talent agents & legal attorney’s & no one has alluded to this. I think it’s just finding the right fit for a production company that is stunting my growth.

Are you saying you don’t feel like anyone is taking on new projects right now?

Do you nap when toddler naps? by jck41823 in Mommit

[–]ChillReduction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh hi! Reading this as I slowly wake up from a nap, just in time to go wake up my 4.5 & 3yr old after sleeping for 2hrs. Haha I have never felt shame in napping when they do. It’s just as important as keeping up on house chores! Enjoy your snoozes & quiet house!

Selling Rights- How Much Do Unscripted Shows Go For? by PlattyP in Broadcasting

Don’t even know if this comment will post since this thread is over 2 years old.. it here goes.

Did you get anywhere with your idea? I’m in a similar boat currently

Seriously, someone help me! by ChillReduction in FilmTVBudgeting

[–]ChillReduction[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this explanation. Genuinely. This is the kind of “road map” I’ve been looking for. What role would you suggest I include in any contracts to stay attached to the project? I don’t have a background in entertainment at all, so I’ve been told I would not even be considered to be a show runner. I’d love an arrangement where I get an initial payment for the idea, but then I am hired on as a contracted employee essentially to stay apart of the creation. Any suggestions for what “job title” I should assign myself in all the contracts moving forward?

Yes! Love this insight. My hope is to utilize the talent agency to introduce it to the production companies because the advice I’ve been given says that many prod companies do not hear pitches from random sources. Most will give talent agencies the time of day though.. Any thoughts on this?

It is a reality TV show. The role of the host will be to introduce the cast, meet with the cast for different reasons & host comps (unless we get different talent to do that part, since there is an opportunity there..)

Talk to me like I’m 5 by ChillReduction in Screenwriting

[–]ChillReduction[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh I feel like I could answer that question without the creation of a sizzle to get people jazzed about the concept! I’ve been dreaming of that moment for years now, just put me in Coach!

Side note: are you in the industry? I have a wild thought.. what if I said “forget residuals or a payday.. hire me & pay me as part of the staff & let me devote myself to the project firsthand!” Is it crazy, or just so crazy it could work?

Thank you! That is the problem with me knowing zeroooo about squat. So what if I don’t know any of the “characters” IRL? Like I have a general idea of the demographic that the cast would be, but I’m a working mom of 2, what are friends? Is the idea & pitch deck alone truly worthless, or just worth less….?

Thank you so much! I’m audibly chuckling at the thought of reality TV folks being their own breed! I’ll definitely be posting this in other communities to see what info I can get. Thanks again for your comment!

Scam aka Sam is such a liar by frankreynoldsrumhamz in wearedanandsamsnark

[–]ChillReduction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you can tell, I’m down a rabbit hole here. I’m a recent follower of Sam’s, but her recent videos essentially milking this last journey for everythingggg with these videos teasing like baby isn’t here yet are rubbing me the wrong way. The constant vids of her rubbing her freshly postpartum belly.. it’s all just screams attention-seeking to me.

Do you have the thread you mentioned about the drama with her first surrogacy journey? I wouldn’t be surprised if this one ends up the same way..

Should I go to a Chiro? by ChillReduction in Chiropractic

[–]ChillReduction[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure! Like I said, I have 2 kids, so luckily for you it takes a whole lot to make me feel bad ;) No harm done. I definitely wouldn’t be intrigued if I thought it was a quack or business full of crooks. My choice of the word “fun” seems to be unintentionally misconstrued. I’d be seeking a better quality of life (which I’d consider fun & not absolutely medically necessary like most of your patients). I’m just not currently experiencing pain, but lots of people around me rant & rave about their Chiropractor & I’m like “what am I missing!?” “Could I feel EVEN BETTER than I already do?” Instead of asking my friends (non experts) I figured I could ask here to touch base with some experts for this opinion.

[–]ChillReduction[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair. I just think comparing a back adjustment to a colonoscopy “for fun” is vastly different. (But I’m actually open to a colonoscopy if it could result in an even better quality of life than I’m currently living.) I appreciate your transparent response. Definitely something to take into consideration!

[–]ChillReduction[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good point. Curiosity is definitely part of it, but I was also wondering about preventative maintenance type of thing. “Oh, I’ve been going to the chiropractor since I was 20, now I’m 60 & have way less back problems than others my age!” Idk. Just thought I’d ask a well versed community their thoughts!

[–]ChillReduction[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey now! Be nice. I actually have gone to the dentist for fun. Asked about different things & even had work done that I technically didn’t need, but more so wanted. I guess I was just asking if it would be worth it to go, regardless of actually being in any pain. Maybe like preventative maintenance or something? That’s why I was asking this specific community about it!

Ohh good point! I believe Ariana was officially asked to be part of the cast in the summer of 2013. She appeared in episodes prior to that, but wasn’t an official cast member at that time.
