Booktofilm.com Has Launched a Sister Site for a New TV Reality Show, Booktofilmrealitytv.com - Best-Selling Authors Sought to Cast as Show Contestants
The producers of last month's Book to Film Screenplay Search Project are currently in ongoing talks with a major production company about adding the show to their line up. Six episodes, six authors from script to screen. The show was first pitched to the company during an invite to participate as a panelist for the 2nd Annual Book to Film Screenplay Search Festival for February 06.
(PRWEB) July 14, 2005 -- Book to film reality TV is derived from
booktofilm.com, the 1st Annual Book to Film Festival with a concentration on
bringing viable best-selling works to the big screen, or small screen. This
boldly innovative new reality show will match proven published authors with film
executives that can close option deals.
The panel of judges come from
both the literary world and the film industry, such as show judge, www.bookpitch.com CEO,
Patricia Kelley and Tee C. Royal, founder of one of the largest book review
clubs nationwide, www.Rawsistaz.com. Publishers Weekly has also shown interest
in this project. Executive Producer Marilyn Atlas,(Real Women Have Curves,
HBO)and and Marc Hernandez of Crecendo Entertainment are also amongst selected
judges. US film compainies as along with companies from as far as Toronto
Canada, and London have embraced the project and will be looking at projects
from booktofilm.com including Producer Dawn Carter of Fox Pictures under her
position as Executive producer for Donlyn Productions, which just wrapped
principal photography of her independent production, "Contradictions of the
Heart," in association with Bennet Five Entertainment Inc, starring Lisa Raye,
Cliffton Powell, Christopher Duncan and others.
With the number of
reality shows benefiting every other industry, this forum targeting some 80.
million avid readers, along with aspiring writers and another built in audience
of loyal fans of these nationally know authors, this show will be a great
addition to the networks. With networks scrambling to 'retun to viewers with
original, quality programming, this show is a no brainer for development and
creative executives," says confident show creator, author and founder of the
Book to Film Screenplay Search Festival, Vanessa Morman. "This is a timely
project given the number of remakes we've seen on the big and small screen from
War of the World, King Kong, Bewitched, to the The Honeymooners and other
remakes which are all indicative of why Hollywood needs to meet with bookwood
and adapt one of these titles into a film or television
series."
booktofilmrealitytv is not only beneficial to both authors, and
Hollywood, but to movie goers who are scratching their heads about the lack of
orginality presented to moviegoers today. The resolve; an adaptation from a bevy
of proven writers.
What will be very interesting is the underdog in the
show; the self-published author without the huge marketing campaign afforded
some traditionally published authors. In this setting, they will finally have
equal footing with authors published by larger publishing
houses.
Best-selling authors, self-published authors, publishers,
publicists or agents may forward a press kit for those authors interested in
being cast for the show.
Send press kits to Sheba Media Group at 1645 Pat
Booker Rd#103 Suite 195 Universal City, Texas 78148.
