TV PROJECTS
IN DEVELOPMENT

The following TV projects are now in development. 

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH DEBBI AND FRANKIE: an on-location TV interview show
Debbi and Frankie go behind the scenes at some fascinating and fabulous places in Northern California -- from the Monterey Peninsula to the Napa Valley, from the Pacific Ocean to the Tahoe ski slopes.  We are co-producing, writing, and directing the pilot with Debbi DiMaggio and Frankie Joseph, the show  hosts.  You can see both photos and videos from our first segment -- a visit and cocktail party demonstration by chef and catering service owner Janet Ruttenberg, and visit to the BellaPella skin care studio on Maiden Lane in San Francisco.  The videos also include a sizzle reel introducing the series.                    

THE VERY NEXT NEW THING: a TV interview show on breakthroughs in science, technology, business and society
Host Gini Graham Scott interviews scientists, inventors, entrepreneurs, and others involved in the latest breakthroughs in science, technology, business, and society and discusses how these breakthroughs will impact our everyday lives.  Inspired by the book THE VERY NEXT NEW THING to be published by ABC-Clio in December 2010.   The first two segments feature Vic Kley, talking about the Terraspan, a revolutionary new high-speed train that will revolutionize long-distance travel, and Michael Rogers talking about creating a collaborative democratic society.   Videos of two segments from the show are now available, and a sizzle reel will be available shortly.

MEETING MADNESS, a TV game show series
It features very different groups competing in a series of challenges for a prize. A pilot for the first show has already been shot and is now being edited.  You can see photos from our first two days of shooting.
    We are co-producing this with El Cine Productions.  The pilot is expected to be completed in October 2009.  We will be contacting producers and network executives shortly about licensing or purchasing additional shows in this series.  We also will be making arrangements with sponsors. Contact us to discuss this project further.

DO YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR DOG? a TV game and reality show 
It's based on the popular Website www.doyoulooklikeyourdog.com which has over 1000 photos of people who look like their dog from all over the world and gets over 5000 hits a day.  DO YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR DOG was published as a book by Broadway Books/Random House and now is being introduced as a game by Briarpatch at the American Toy Fair in New York in February 2007.   The game features the photos of some of the people in the book and on the Website and will be getting national media exposure.   Plans are in the works for a follow-up DO YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR DOG? book and for launching a TV game and reality show in the Fall along with the game.  We have a trademark registered for "Do You Look Like" and this is a property with great potential for licensing, sponsorships, and product placement.  A video of a "Do You Look Like Your Dog?" song will be featured on YouTube and other venues shortly.

We are now contacting producers and production executives to license this property or work with us on producing the TV series.

SF SOCIAL? a TV reality show
The show in the spirit of MIAMI SOCIAL, THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA, and THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY, features four women who are members of the San Francisco social elite and Frankie Joseph, starring in THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY.  The pilot for the show documents typical events in their everyday lives, including fashion shows, parties, the launch of a fashion line, and the conflicts they all encounter along the way. 

You can see photos from one of their shoots.
