A decades-long process
When Michael Beran decided to create his own reality TV show, he knew it would require a lot of work and dedication. Something he was accustomed to with his extensive background in the military, owner of Wildlife Command Center, and actor/producer. After all, creating and pitching a show to networks is no easy task.
Michael breaks down the steps of how to create and pitch a reality tv show from concept to completion and getting an actual show ON TV!
Finding your Team
After signing a shottyy contract and being stuck on the shelf for years, Michael teamed up with a new creative partner to help him through the process. Let’s be real, how many times are you faced with a contract full of crazy jargon that you THINK you understand?
One of my favorite things he said in this episode was, “it’s important to find people who are better than you”.
With this new partnership, Michael was able to create a pitch package that was undeniable.
After years of hard work literally pounding the pavement and pitching the reality TV show to networks, he finally got his show, Barehands Rescue, on TV.
Did someone say Animal Planet and Discovery Plus!?
