Martial Arts Reality Show
Posted on November 7th, 2011 Written on michael's blog
Do you like this?
The characters are unbelievably good
Mike Van Horn is a graduate of the Travel Channel Academy.
That means he 'chopped the carrots' just like you.
Now, he's moved on to more interesting chopping than carrots.
He just sent me his demo for a pitch for a reality show based on MMA - Mixed Martial Arts.
It's pretty amazing stuff.
(I think it should be cut down and emphasize the characters more, but we can get to that).
The core here is it has all the winning elements of a great series for cable.
Action
Well shot
Well cut
Natural arc of story
Built in audience.
Fantatic and engaging characters.
I think this could be big.
Congrats Mike. And best of luck!
