realscreen summit: factual forum

The third annual Realscreen Factual Entertainment Forum, held last month in Santa Monica, brought together broadcast and cable executives, producers, agents and other stakeholders in the reality TV/factual entertainment industry for inspiration, discussion about the current state of reality TV and, of course, networking.

On June 1, the Factual Entertainment Awards were handed out, with winners including The Deadliest Catch and The Amazing Race. Also in attendance were Hall of Fame inductees Gene Simmons and Bunim/Murray Productions chairman Jonathan Murray.
