WHAT THIS PROJECT IS ABOUT

“People FUEL: A Reality TV Show” takes a creative look at an unscripted television programming.  It uses the evolution of food culture, resources to gather food, eating, history and feeding populations in today’s world as the basis for the reality topic.  “People FUEL: A Reality TV Show” is a parody of reality television, also known as “unscripted programming”.  “People FUEL: A Reality TV Show” brings a reality TV flavor, but with class.  The storyline of this “mockumentary” is positive, and embodies real-time entertainment as it was intended. 


WHY WE ARE MAKING THIS FILM

Reality TV started out as real-time entertainment.  It has not changed for the better since its birth. “Real-time entertainment” now resulted in cat fights, violence, putdowns, bullying, and crude behavior.  This type of format seems to dominate the reality television universe.  We want to use this film to take a humorous look at the reality TV show monster, but also bring back the entertainment factor in looking at programs.  We would be very thankful for your support in bringing a new innovation to the big, and small, screens.  Indiegogo


WHY INDIEGOGO?

Indiegogo allows a way to bring interest and support to make something unique.  We feel that the Indiegogo model is a great way to connect with people and to launch a new idea.  We set our goal at $39,050, but hope to exceed this amount.  In today’s filmmaking world of multi-million dollar blockbusters, this amount is not seen as very much. We feel, however, that this goal will help ensure creative control.  Most of the pre-production work has been done.  A great team has been assembled with a commitment to the artistry necessary for a great project.


WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP

This film project looks at a simple, yet universal subject . . . Eating.  People FUEL is not a food-critic driven product, although dishes are demonstrated.  People FUEL is a chess game between an old-school academician and a young Type-A male.  The storyline gets behind the story of why we eat what we eat.  History, culture, values, customs, taboos, and many different factors influence what people eat. 

This diverse outreach, however, does come with some built-in challenges.  Quality projects have to make an effort, at times, to attract financing.  Also, creative control is important, and we seek to maintain this advantage.  People FUEL is a different vehicle for entertainment.  No one will get punched in the nose, insulted or cursed out. It is about telling a story in real-time.  And we need your help to do it. We would be very honored for you to support our great team. 


HOW WILL THE MONEY BE USED?

Right now, the plan is for a feature film that can be expanded in length as funds permit.  If you respond in great numbers, and with great generosity, we can turn “People FUEL: A Reality TV Show” into a high production value vehicle. Our plan is to use the funds raised through this Indiegogo campaign for principal photography and post production.  People FUEL: A Reality TV Show will have a high production value if we can meet and exceed our initial goal,

RISKS AND CHALLENGES

Every film & television project carries some risks and challenges.  It is sometime easier to make negative-themed, violence-oriented projects because the entertainment bar is so low.  Thinking out of the box is hard to do and requires a combination of creativity and diligence; not to mention expensive to make, without the financial resources.  As with anything new, it is the first-in players that bear the hardest burden, but reap the greatest rewards. 

Those of us working on making People FUEL happen, however are taking time and care in the planning process, and giving a lot of attention to details, to ensure the greatest chance for success.  Look at how television history was made with shows like “Twilight Zone”, “All in the Family”, “The Cosby Show”, “Cheers”, “CSI”, and even “Survivor” come into development.  Viewers knew from the very first episode when they watched these shows that they were seeing something different. Think of these past groundbreakers as the future light of People FUEL: A Reality TV Show. Help to make the next big thing happen again.


People FUEL AND YOU

People FUEL: A Reality TV Show combines the film format and reality format.  Your contributions will bring a return to sensible entertainment.  The unique factor about People FUEL is that the team behind it bring maturity and a desire to make a quality project that goes beyond the standard fare.  Come join us in starting the next journey in visual entertainment.
