In one week we’ll be welcoming close to 1,000 delegates to the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel for the West Coast’s most important and valuable unscripted entertainment conference and the Realscreen Awards.
The agenda is packed with provocative and practical sessions designed to take your business to the next level and includes unprecedented access to decision makers and potential production partners through our structured networking series. This year’s keynote session Refreshing Reality brings together a panel of top programmers, producers and agents to examine whether there is a “creative crisis” in unscripted programming and if so, how it can be overcome.
Tape Talk: Finding the “A-HA!” Moment
The buzz word continues to be authenticity – audiences are seeking genuine characters with something to say. And the first step in bringing those characters to the screen is capturing their essence in the sizzle. Here, producers, agents and network execs explore the sizzle tapes that were part of the pitches behind some of today’s top unscripted series, and pinpoint the “A-Ha!” moment that practically sealed the deal, and also offer input on how to make sure that moment, and the sizzle itself, shines.
