Filipino in new Burnett/Spielberg reality show website for aspiring filmmakers
Reality TV pioneer Mark Burnett who gave us such groundbreaking reality shows like Survivor, the Eco-Challenge, The Apprentice (a personal favorite), Rock Star (another favorite), and The Contender among others is teaming up with many-time Academy award-winning director Steven Spielberg for a new exciting reality show for aspiring filmmakers entitled "On the Lot".
Paolo Dy, an Ateneo-educated and Cebu-born director, cinematographer and screenwriter, is now among those young filmmakers who are in contention for the 16 available slots in this worldwide search. His short film QWERTY is now featured on the show’s website, which aims to discover 16 unknown filmmakers whose films will be aired on Fox News Channel.
Like the American Idol model, the viewers decide the fate of these filmmakers based on a weekly
audience vote.
The show also offers a whooping $ 1 Million Hollywood development deal with Dreamworks and Spielberg. The series premiers on 16 May 2007 on Fox.
