Hollywood Boot Camp, here they come!
Reality has become an effective format to hook televiewers or catch their attention since the island-isolated reality show hit the small screen.
Getting into the bandwagon is Q-11’s Hollywood Boot Camp of Bigfoot Entertainment, which will premiere on Aug. 13,
“It’s completely different,” says Bigfoot Entertainment CEO Kacy Andrews of Hollywood Boot Camp as she compares it to the Steven Spielberg-Mark Burnett show. She adds it’s far different from American Idol but similar to The Apprentice in form and essence. The Bigfoot Entertainment show gathers eight aspiring Pinoy filmmakers in a
The eight-episode series will see contestants learning the ropes of filmmaking, the Hollywood way and finding their niche, Andrews explains.
“Each filmmaker has his strengths and weaknesses,” she adds. “(What we want to happen) is for them to discover where they are good at and what’s good for them. The show is nurturing.”Weekly challenges will immerse filmmakers in various areas of filmmaking like production design, writing, special effects, editing, assistant directing, wardrobe and makeup, sounds, acting and camera work.
These tasks will also educate audiences on the rudiments of movie making. Guest judges will review the contestants’ work and determine who will head home every week. Activities inside the boot camp are also part of the shoot of Bigfoot’s movie project, Midnight Movie. What’s good about the show are the lessons contestants will learn. One is that filmmaking is collaborative work. Another is multi-tasking is good, but finding one’s expertise is better.
The winner will get $10,000 or a film package worth $20,000, and a two-year contract with Bigfoot. He can also use Bigfoot’s production and post-production facilities.
