RUPTURED FILMS INC. FOR TBC TELEVISION, NEW YORK
Director: Nigel Bellis. I'm seeking fresh, specialist TV host talent for new series ideas. I'm looking for presenters who have a particular knowledge and passion for a subject that they believe the TV audience has not been exposed to yet. Forget about cooking, nutrition, or house makeovers, unless you have some unique approach that all the other shows are somehow missing. Perhaps you are an amazing street magician with an unusual routine? Or consider yourself an expert in some aspect of life or work that has been totally ignored? Please tell me briefly about your specialist subject, send a reasonable headshot, and let's see if we can make a new hit show. http://www.rupturedfilms.com/. Email: Nigelbellis@aol.com
