Love Me or Leave Me
Love is in the air, but his "ex" is in the house.

Similar to ABC’s The Bachelor but in this program the bachelor’s longtime love interest, like an ex-girlfriend or an ex-wife, is also inside the house competing for his love.
Will our Bachelor or Bachelorette choose the "ex" or somebody new? Only the Bachelor/Bachelorette and the ex-partner are aware of their prior relationship. The relationship also remains a secret to our viewing audience, only to be revealed at the heart-wrenching finale.

Reality Idol
Welcome to reality TV hell. Participants from across the US compete in multiple popular reality show style events in one spectacular reality program. Our contestants compete in a marathon of challenging scenarios similar to Big Brother, Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen, The Bachelor, The Apprentice. The contestants are eliminated one-by-one after each reality scenario.
Then with just one week left and only the clothes on their backs, the remaining players are flown off to a deserted island, where they live under the harsh circumstances of Survivor. No shower, no amenities, and very little food. Two more contestants are voted off. The remaining six contestants then fly back to Los Angeles where they must dance for their lives -- like Dancing with the Stars. Two more players are voted out.
For our finale, our unkempt, un-showered, and underfed final 4 players sing for their lives, like American Idol in front of a live studio audience on national TV. The winner is crowned "Reality Idol."

The Movie Machine
This is your shot! You may become the next Tarantino, Scorsese or Spielberg, in this exciting new reality competition, where everyday people become overnight filmmakers. Ten bold, original short-film scripts are chosen from across the country—any genre, any wild idea. Each writer is paired with a local production team and an all-amateur cast. Think: your neighbor as the serial killer, Grandma as the action heroine, the soccer mom as the town femme fatale.
​
Every episode of The Movie Machine is a one-hour ride: the first half shows the chaotic, hilarious, heart-filled scramble to make the movie; the second half premieres the finished short film. After ten weeks, everyone hits the red carpet for the The Movie Machine Awards (MMAs) — our homemade Oscars — where ordinary Americans compete for Best Actor, Best Screenplay, and Best Picture. New stories. New chaos. New filmmakers. Every year.

Content Soup
Content Soup is a fast-paced comedy clip show hosted by Vinny "Boombox" Mancini, a loud mouth, opinionated, old school mobster, now in the witness protection program. With time on his hands and a lot on his mind, Vinny "Boombox" delivers his unique perspective on social media.
​
Each episode, Vinny breaks down the wildest influencer meltdowns, fitness frauds, viral disasters, and other algorithmic insanity flooding our feeds. Insightful commentary from a man with very little understanding of the internet.
​
It's one "goombah" versus the algorithm. Fight the algorithm, or fuggedaboutit.

The Hitman
One target. One hunter. Three days to stay alive. The Hitman is a high-stakes reality thriller where ordinary people are challenged to go about their real lives for three days – jobs, errands, dates – while being hunted by a professional “hitman.”
The "hitman" and our contestants are both armed with a sophisticated rapid fire toy dart gun. It’s kill or be killed. Be warned, the hitman is a master of disguise and he could pose as your mechanic, someone at your business meeting, or a date. Paranoia builds as every stranger could be the hitman in disguise. In The Hitman you’d be well advised to trust no one.
The Hitman is part cat-and-mouse chase, part social experiment and 100% adrenaline. The contestant
who can stay alive for three days, or kill the hitman before getting killed will win a large cash prize.

Second Chance
This is an emotionally intelligent, documentary style reality program. Each story blends raw authenticity with cinematic storytelling to help people rebuild their lives after regret.
During this series, ten participants get a second chance at lost love, lost career opportunities and dying dreams. It’s sort of an Extreme Makeover for passions and dreams that were left unrealized.
It begins with a simple question. What would you do over again, if you had the opportunity?
​
We give our contestants that enormous opportunity. That’s the premise behind Second Chance. Will our contestants “get it right” the second time around? All the contestants share the same house, supporting or perhaps sabotaging each other. Second Chance is a show about redemption and renewal. It's honest, artful, and universal.

Frayed Knot
Divorced but not defeated?
Ready to love again?
Frayed Knot is a bold new reality dating series for the once-married and newly-single.
Is there love after heartbreak?
​
With humor, honesty and more than a few emotional ups and downs, each episode follows newly divorced singles who are ready to re-connect, rediscover and perhaps “re-tie” the knot. This time hopefully, it's for keeps.
​
But Frayed Knot also has a central twist. At any time, the house can summon the ex-spouse of any contestant to present the other side of the divorce. After hearing both versions, the houseguests vote to evict the original contestant, allow them to stay - or invite the ex-spouse to enter the house in their place.

Go-Go Goldberg
Go-Go Goldberg is a high-octane engineering showdown inspired by Rube Goldberg—the legendary cartoonist who turned simple tasks into spectacular chains of chaos.
​
Each episode, two teams of fearless backyard inventors get 24 hours to design and build an over-the-top Rube Goldberg machine. The mission? Make the most ridiculous, creative, mind-melting contraption that actually works.
​
They’re judged on creativity, complexity, and how flawlessly their machine nails the final task. Season One challenges include: Turn Off an Alarm Clock, Send an Email, Make Toast, Answer a Cell Phone, Scramble an Egg, and Pour a Beer. Plus: special themed episodes—from Super Bowl keg-tapping mayhem to movie-premiere magic (“Remove Batman’s mask!”) to Thanksgiving chaos (“Get that turkey in the oven!”).
​
Big builds. Big stakes. Bigger chain reactions. Go-Go Goldberg turns everyday tinkerers into engineering rockstars.

Toasted
The pop-up toaster—invented in 1919—seems like a simple machine, but would you be able to build a working toaster? That’s what author Thomas Thwaites tried to do in his book The Toaster Project.
He found out making a working toaster from scratch is significantly more complex than making toast. In this program competing backyard engineers design and build everyday objects that are commonly used, but barely understood. It’s How Stuff Works meets Mythbusters in Toasted.
Our first six episodes: Make a Toaster, Make a Light Bulb, Make a Coffee Maker, Make a Record Player, Make a Waterbed, and Make a Radio.

Contest Quest
Contest Quest is a high-energy docu-adventure series that dives headfirst into the world’s most eccentric competitions—and the passionate characters obsessed with winning them.
From the human-powered flying machines at the Birdman Rally to the physics-defying engineering at the Egg Drop Contest, and from robot sumo battles at RoboGames to over-engineered chaos in the Rube Goldberg Contest, each episode drops viewers into a wildly different, offbeat subculture where creativity, obsession, and sheer ingenuity collide.
​
Contest Quest is a celebration of the people who dedicate their lives to bizarre brilliance—an exploration of oddball contests where the stakes are real, the characters unforgettable, and every episode reveals a new, quirky, and delightfully unexpected corner of human ambition.

Sloppy Seconds
​​Winning is easy. Losing is even easier. But landing perfectly in second place? That takes precision, strategy, and a very special kind of talent.
​
Sloppy Seconds is the late night game show that flips the game show format on its head. Each week, contestants tackle high-energy group challenges—like quizzes, cooking, obstacle courses, singing, dancing, and more. The twist? The only way to win is to come in second place.
​
That means competitors must thread the finest needle in game show history: Be good enough to beat almost everyone—yet not quite outshine the top performer.
​
It’s a deliciously tricky balancing act as contestants scramble to stay just behind the frontrunner while avoiding the chaos of the bottom.
​
Sloppy Seconds is part strategy, part sabotage, part psychological chess match. It's a competition show where being almost the best is absolutely everything.

Scare BNB
Can you stay three nights in a real haunted house? From the twisted mind of producer Jeff Halavacs comes Scare BNB. In this reality-horror thrill ride, everyday guests check into the wrong vacation rental - which is unknowingly one of America's most fabled haunted homes. It looks charming on the outside… but inside something unearthly is waiting - real and engineered scares, psychological traps, and the contestants’ deepest fears - all set in a real haunted house.
​
During the stay the vacationing contestants soon discover the haunted history of the home they're renting - properties like The Amityville Horror House, The Whaley House, and The Lizzie Borden House.
The rule is brutally simple: don’t break. Scream, bolt, quit, or use the safe word, and you’re out. The last guest standing through 72 hours of escalating terror — from shadowy hallways to glitching smart tech to actors hiding in plain sight — walks away with the cash prize and bragging rights as the bravest soul in the house.
Part haunted-house experiment and part high-stakes horror competition, Scare BNB turns the cozy vacation rental trend into a pressure cooker of paranoia, mayhem, and “what the hell was that?” adrenaline. You’ll never trust an Airbnb listing again.

Fortified
Travel back to your boyhood roots or to the medieval times by building a fort that can withstand a brutal enemy bombardment.
In Fortified we challenge two teams of backyard engineers to design a flag and build an impenetrable fortress out of wood, twine, and mud. The fort of each team would be equipped with two pumpkin-firing cannons.
Once the forts are built, the bombardment begins, with warring teams trying to destroy the opposing fortress. After the bombardment, the forts are judged on remaining structural integrity, design ingenuity, creativity, and the teams are judged on their valor and esprit de corps.

Daddy Dance Party
Each year, on the third Sunday of June, all of America “celebrates” Father’s day with neck ties, socks and humdrum enthusiasm. Until now! Introducing Daddy Dance Party! In this annual nationally-televised TV program, 200 dads from around the U.S. compete for
dancing glory. This awkward, toe-tapping treat features celebrity judges who eliminate the most cringey, rhythmically challenged contestants one-by-one during the group dance round.
​
The remaining twenty semi-finalist dads then compete in three dance events like chaotic freestyle dancing, coordinated line dancing like the Cha-Cha Slide, the Electric Slide or the Macarena. And the Grand Finale is “The Daddy Stroll”—similar to the Soul Train “Stroll” of yesteryear where all the dancing dads form an alleyway as the finalists promenade down the line strutting their stuff. The Daddy Dance Party winner is chosen by using the combined scores of the celebrity judges and the votes of the American viewing public (50/50).

Reality. Annual one-off program. 2-3 hours.
