Tape Talk: Finding the “A-HA!” Moment

 

The buzz word continues to be authenticity - audiences are seeking genuine characters with something to say. And the first step in bringing those characters to the screen is capturing their essence in the sizzle. Here, producers, agents and network execs explore the sizzle tapes that were part of the pitches behind some of today’s top unscripted series, and pinpoint the “A-Ha!” moment that practically sealed the deal, and also offer input on how to make sure that moment, and the sizzle itself, shines.
