Fwd: Potential TV show

[Matt Oehrlein]

More chances to be on TV!

Let me know if ya'll have strong feelings towards whether or not these TV show requests are generally appreciated, or just feel spammy. Ideally off-list because I rarely check it anymore.

Hey Matt,

 

I hope this email finds you well. My name is Chris and I am a producer at Magilla Entertainment, a television production company based in NYC that specializes in non-scripted programming. We have worked with almost all of the major cable networks including Discovery, TLC and History Channel. Feel free to check out more of our work at www.magilla.tv!

 

Currently, we are casting a new competition series looking for the top brains: scientists, engineers, designers, etc in their respective fields. Each brain will create a challenging obstacle course for the best athletes to compete on and attempt to beat. It will be a true test of brain versus brawn; we will explore the science behind the obstacle course, the talent needed to create it and the athleticism needed to outsmart it. We are looking for those with great credentials and the interest to not only create interesting challenges but also serve as one of our hosts of the series.  

 

We are looking to being interviewing potential hosts/builders this week, and I would greatly appreciate it if you could share this casting with anyone you deem appropriate. If interested, please email me here or, call me cell. (631)-495-6661. 

Many Thanks, 

Chris

I love obstacle courses, both designing and running them. Sounds insane!

If we posted all the casting calls that came in to contact@, we'd have to rename the group i3detroit-screentest. In general I think of them as spammy because they're not local in nature, and that seems to be the prevailing perception among *kerspaces: http://lists.hackerspaces.org/pipermail/discuss/2014-October/010011.html  

Also it's been my observation that folks who've been through the reality-TV grinder don't have a lot of nice things to say about the experience, so I'm not anxious to use our resources to further someone else's commercial interests which are not aligned with the interests of our members. I'd love to be convinced otherwise, but the folks doing the convincing would need a pretty strong track-record. Thoughts?

Hi Nate, 

I've done some reality TV and other shows and I enjoy the process.  One such program got me a book deal and then my book became a best seller!  Then I wrote two more books and they became best sellers.  It was a great experience.  

If you want to forward any opportunities my way, I'd love to see them.  I'm a member and I have a lot of fun projects going on.  So, please don't just throw all of the inquiries away.  

I think that other people besides myself would probably like to see them as well.

I also enjoyed my time with History Channel but I can also understand not flooding the list with such chatted.  Maybe they can be directed to either their own last, maybe all job opportunities collectively, or give them a spot on the Google group/wiki.
