FIRST-TIME PRODUCERS:

COOLtv WANTS YOUR SHOWS!

If you have a great idea for a television show, and you're tired of posting your videos to YouTube and you want to take the next step, now you can! With COOLtv you have the chance to get your show in front of millions of viewers!

COOLtv is looking for show ideas that can fit our list of show genres:

Extreme Sports
Feature Films
Short Films
Music Videos and Programs
Cooking
Travel & Tourism
Pop Culture
Fashion & Apparel
Gaming Shows
Animation (TV appropriate)
Situation Comedy

We’re looking for English-language show proposals that would be interesting to our broadcast audience in Europe, which can be simulcast online as well as distributed on hand-held devices. Shows should be low budget, character-driven, and usually take place in 1-2 locations. Comedies are always good, but we will listen to all good ideas, whether non-fiction, music, dramatic, anything! To present your proposal, we will need the following:

1. A proposal that describes your show, characters, locations and why it would be interesting to our audience. This proposal should be short, 2-3 pages. Pictures, graphics, etc., aren’t necessary.
2. A sample script. If you’re creating a comedy, the script should be in standard screenplay format. If you’re new to writing for television, we recommend “Crafty TV Writing” by Alex Epstein.
3. A short 5-minute scene that you shoot and edit. This will demonstrate your ability to actually produce a show. Take the first five minutes of your script and create your show demo reel. Then upload it to YouTube for everyone to evaluate. Send us a link.

Please email your proposal in a .pdf file to:

Once we evaluate your proposal and look at your 5 minute clip, then we’ll contact you for further development information.

This is your chance to break in!
