The Indie Film Challenge

This is a "Pitch" for a reality show for Indie Filmmakers 

Pitch Creator:  Michael Angelo

Genre:  Reality

The success of shows like Survivor, Hell’s Kitchen, Fear Factor, and Chopped indicates that Americans are totally obsessed with reality programs that deal with people being placed under the gun to reach a goal or placed in precarious situation in order to advance to the next level.  Imagine this:  Take four struggling independent film crews who are desperately trying to make it in the film industry. Each crew will consist of a director of photography (DP), a director, an editor, and a writer.  They have limited funds, low budget equipment, very little access to great locations, and have very little knowledge of how to write a professional script.  And if these issues aren’t enough, there are major egos within each crew. This sounds like a recipe for destruction, right?  Now, let’s kick it up a notch.  The goal is for each crew to take on a different challenge each show.  Trust me:  the challenges will not be easy.
