Making Money
In season 3 of Primetime it’s impossible for the Networks not to lose money. You can’t get enough money from the advertisers to come even close to covering even an A show.
Our response has been to create the cheapest TV possible - 3 hours of DV footage shot by a homeless person and edited by a student intern on $10 an hour for 8 hours.
This is the show as I have proposed it. The others may well change it.
Candid Bums
We gave a video camera and some tapes to a homeless drunk for a week – this is the exclusive footage.
A cutting edge, low-budget documentary from the makers of Extreme Makeover. This feature-length show is the result of a daring expermiment – giving a $2000 video camera and some DV tapes to a homeless drunk. We showed him how to use the equipment and sent him off to record his life on the streets. The resulting footage is disturbing, moving, and must-see viewing for anyone who thinks they know New York City. This is a view you won’t get to see again. Meet Walt, his friends and enemies on the street, and the members of the settled community who come in their lives.

That is a great idea for a show, though I guess in reality you would find that the drunk would probably sell the camera for money to buy more booxe.
