On Creating Reality

Perhaps the project is bigger than first imagined.
I say this because everyday a new crop of announcements: shows bought, sold and shot.
And the ratio of reality to sitcom is grossly lopsided.
It’s been this way for sometime…
But I’m astonished.
It’s as strong as it ever was.
Reality, still, is catapulting the sitcoms out of commission.
Been reading the trades a lot, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Cynthia Turner’s Cynopsis, IndieWire and it’s truly crazy what is actually being produced.
Reality.
Reality.
Oh, the humanity!
Also, there is another aspect starting to sway me quite forcefully.
Clip shows, the “Behind the Reality Shows” or whatever the hell they’re called.
All being produced in the same vein as a reality show.
Trumping the salacious, maximizing the drama.
But a film, a theatrical feature doc would have a greater magnitude, no?
