About This Festival

Content is king and everyone wants the crown.

From the creators of 34,000 Forks and Fairybread comes a brave new work that reaches into the heart of reality television and reveals the inner workings of a carefully constructed world.

It’s all a show, but there has to be a winner. We’re going to take three people off the street and make them stars. They’ll be huge. Here’s how we’re pitching it:

“Three contestants become fierce competitors in their quest to become the next great innovator, but when the pressures of producing good television start to mount up, one contestant pushes back…”

Sounds good? It’ll hit the key demos for sure.

In this exciting and unreal world, the barriers between content and person come crashing down as three performers struggle to resist the manipulation of their producers. Then again, this could all just be part of the show.

Tune in and find out.
