Filmaka Announced a New Pitch Contest

Hi
Myself Dipti
Digital Rights Group (DRG), a leading distributor of content in the UK, has signed a development deal for the television comedy series Blowout with Filmaka members Michael Kinney and Max Herholz. They were discovered through Filmaka's Hard Times competition, which DRG sponsored. Now, fresh from that success, DRG is pleased to offer another opportunity for Filmaka members to have their ideas heard. They are partnering with Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC), Canada's national public broadcaster. This time, the competition is . . . to invent a competition.

Send us a pitch for a reality or game show you think might be the next international craze - the next Deal or No Deal, Dancing With the Stars, or The Weakest Link. We'll fund five of them to be turned into pilots, and those pilots will be considered by professional television development executives. If they think you've got what it takes, they may approach you about further development. If not, you'll all be voted off the island.

What?

No entry fee?

That almost certainly means this is NOT just another a cynical attempt to exploit gullible writers.

My faith in human nature is partially restored.

Hi
Myself Morrace

I noted No. 7 below of your "DELIVERY RULES"

'Filmaka DRG Game Show Competition Delivery Rules'

"7. Please note that your content becomes the exclusive property in perpetuity of Filmaka, Inc. and DRG."

"If they think you've got what it takes, they may approach you about further development. If not, you'll all be voted off the island."

Myself have voted you off my island already (in perpetuity, even).

I'd say be careful with this one guys... looks like a load of shit to me. ;)

The user is in India and claims to be in England. It is a con.
