Reality TV Show Book & Blog by Producer Troy Devolld

Are you interested in the Reality TV genre? Would you like to write or cast a Reality TV show, or maybe even star in a Reality TV series? Maybe you're interested in shooting your own Reality TV show? Good, you came to the right place -- not me, but the resource I'm going to give out to you. BUT, you have to follow the rules, which are--

*watch this trailer (sizzle reel) to understand the massive influence and power of Reality TV and why you should buy the book!

*buy the book, it's the definitive source on all aspects of Reality TV, and it has fantastic reviews, especially on Amazon.com, click here to read about the Reality TV book!

*go to the Reality TV book blog, by Producer Troy Devolld, and read posts, comment, ask a question. DO NOT, by any means, DO NOT--
a) go to the blog to complain or whine about the Reality TV genre. Get a job (in it)!!
b) give or reveal a pitch or concept. Your idea may be great, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF FOR NOW! By pitching, you are throwing a legal liability on anyone who hears or reads it, because you'll turn around and say they stole the idea later on. Work on your concept but don't tell us what it is, we DON'T want to know and you will be branded amateur and maybe be banned from the blog posting.
c) do not call Troy, BY ANY MEANS, unless directed to do so. Don't f'n do it or you will be blacklisted!
d) did I mention not to bitch about the genre, not to pitch or reveal a concept, and absolutely not fucking call Troy Devolld?? Call him and you're going to ruin at least one good shot at this, whatever your dreams are.

Reality TV Book Blog by Producer Troy Devolld

Summary -- in harsh terms, don't fuck up this blog. It's young, new, refreshing,,,like the old days when you first found message boards (or free porn) before anyone else knew about it, and you learned a lot, and there was a certain camaraderie, until it got all exploited and out of context and chatty and full of ads. NO Hollywood producer gives access like Troy Devolld, so behave, don't call him or pitch, and don't fuck this up for those of us like me who are learning from him and the blog.

THANKS x 10!!!

NEW PHASE -- REALITY TV

"Reality", not "realty", that's what I said, probably to your chagrin because my ears are ringing as you get that disdainful thought you can't help but having. I wouldn't go into "realty", as in "real estate", the housing bubble burst and it's important to move on. Trends and markets change. Business cycles. Life goes on. What I'm saying is that you should still be proud of your spec script, but accept the facts -- unless you're Tina Fey or her peer, it's not likely you'll ever sell that thing. Move on when a market dies, if it's your true passion to be employed in it.

If that hasn't cured your denial then look at the TV ratings. Who doesn't know that "You're fired!" is synonymous with "The Apprentice"? For over ten years now, a majority of amateur screenwriters have (dis)regarded reality TV with at least some deplorable comment (yet probably enthusiastically watched the supertrailers and teasers). 

If you're here to learn screenwriting, do check out this blog, my intensive research will save you time, money, and frustration. Learning the craft has enriched my life, and it just so happens, I will be using those hard-earned skills in my new venture with Reality TV, which is a genre by the way,,,I can hear your "sigh", but you can't deny, it has ruled the airwaves. I know that line was cheesy. Sell what they are buying, or watching, or at least watch me do it!

So, stay tuned as I select a mentor, make my brand (already exists), pitch it, get the elements attached (I'm a major one), and finally get on a shoot, bright lights and all! Get onboard and take this ride with me, because I've got some sliced bread to deliver right quick! I won't let you down, you're simply going to be amazed!

FADE IN!
