Filmaka: Digital Rights Group – $2500 – Over 18 y.o. – 15 minute Pilot – Due: January 24th, 2010

Digital Rights Group (DRG), a leading distributor of content in the UK, has signed a development deal for the television comedy series Blowout with Filmaka members Michael Kinney and Max Herholz. They were discovered through Filmaka’s Hard Times competition, which DRG sponsored. Now, fresh from that success, DRG is pleased to offer another opportunity for Filmaka members to have their ideas heard. They are partnering with Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC), Canada’s national public broadcaster. This time, the competition is . . . to invent a competition.
Send us a pitch for a reality or game show you think might be the next international craze – the next Deal or No Deal, Dancing With the Stars, or The Weakest Link. We’ll fund five of them to be turned into pilots, and those pilots will be considered by professional television development executives. If they think you’ve got what it takes, they may approach you about further development. If not, you’ll all be voted off the island.
The Obstacle Course
In the first round, we’re looking for visually enhanced written pitches. These need to be short and punchy (500 words max) and can be in any format (Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Storyboards, etc). If you want to make your pitch by video, that’s fine but we still want to see your idea on paper. You won’t be disqualified if you don’t submit a video at this stage but you do need to make your pitch visual. Your pitch needs to outline the basic concept and structure of your reality/game show idea, how players/contestants enter and progress through the show and how a winner is selected. The competition needs to be progressively challenging and each level needs to be linked and consistent with the overall concept of the show. We need to see how the final round works and what you think the prize should be.
DRG and CBC are open-minded about the type of show they’re looking for. It could be a classic studio based game show (like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire or Deal or No Deal), it could be a primetime entertainment format (Dancing With the Stars), it could be a show which challenges contestants physically or puts them into extreme situations (American Gladiators, Fear Factor) or it could be a reality/game show hybrid (Survivor, Temptation Island). But whatever it is, your idea must be new and unique!
The Competition is open to any legal resident of any country in the world who has reached the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence and who is a registered member of the Filmaka Site at the time of submission of their Pitch.
Your pitches must be uploaded to Filmaka by 24:00 on Sunday, January 24th, 2010.
The Lightning Round
DRG and Filmaka will judge your pitches, and up to five will be chosen to receive $2,500 (USD) each to film a 15 minute pilot presentations. We won’t be looking for high-production values (elaborate sets, HD) but rather a demonstration of how your game is played.
The Reigning Champion
Completed pilots will be evaluated by DRG and if they believe any have the potential to be the next game show hit, the filmmakers will be approached about further development at that time.
Think you’ve got what it takes? Then go ahead, write that pitch – we double dare you!
