thoreauYesterday's filming and editing was a lot of work; and I still have a fair amount to do. *yikes!*
Here's my pitch, a show called (and I need a sexier title) "A Conversation About Food"
The audition tape is three minutes - and it is "hi my name is Bob - and this is how I cook - and why I should have a show on food network" - so I'm splicing together highlights of Bob's kitchen with a voice over. talking about how I never knew how to cook before doing the show - and how it's created such a conversation about food with my friends - and new friends. and how food network could help me widen that conversation with a show that is all about listener letters, tips and ideas. a "listener generated show" like "food network live" or something like that. :) and who better to host the show - than a blog addicted, Facebook/Twitter whore like me? (chortle)
What I want to be able to show in my three minute tape is that I went from burning water - to a cooking show that people actually follow and interact with over the span of the last four years. Highlighting particular successes and a couple of poking fun at myself moments (like bending over and showing viewers my butt in Episode #1) -- and pitching a show idea thats about an everyday guy that can talk about food in an uncomplicated way - and would take user emails, chats and tweets and investigate food ideas, kitchen utensils and methods. I know that in cooking magazines - my favorite sections are honestly the "reader tips" - and I think that's a unique original idea for Food Network.
