Breaking News: Hal Goes to Reality TV Boot Camp!
Posted by Hal
Wow. Workshops on “extreme emotional endurance” and “maintaining your pokerface”. A master class by Joshua Harris of we-live-in-public fame. 3 documentary crews (including mine), 4 reporters from various periodicals including Cosmopolitan UK, and…me.
That’s right. In her extreme wisdom, director Sally has decided that we need to head back to California for weekend boot camp, which features 15 or so reality TV aspirants trying to make it on to a show, and, once they’re on, win big. Check it out here.
The event is being put on by the New York Reality TV School (even though it’s being held in the Los Angeles area). Really, I don’t know what to expect from the weekend camp. But I do know it’ll be interesting, to say the least. Among the advance instructions we’ve been sent are to bring a “provocative” piece of clothing (just wait until you get a gander of what I’ll be wearing) and to not forget our favorite stuffed animal. Director Sally was so worried I’d bail on the clothes and stuffed animal she sent producer Jeanette over to collect the objects from me.
My goal: to stand out, to learn what it takes to get onto reality tv, and talk to the other folks who are paying one thousand big ones to attend — why are they here? What is it about Reality TV that’s so damn captivating?
So you can bet I’ll be keeping you informed. In the meantime, I’m in the airport heading to Winnipeg where I’ll be presenting at the Thin Air Authors festival. Should be a good time, more on that as well.
