IWantToMakeATVshow.com is a site dedicated to people who want to turn their TV show idea into a pitchable television show that the broadcasters want to see.

Do you watch TV and think, “I have a better idea than that”? Would you like to see your idea turned into an actual show on TV but are unsure where to start? This one of a kind site will provide you with valuable information that can assist you.

We start at the beginning of the creative process. You’ve had an idea for a show, but now what?

We take you back before the writing even begins, building a foundation to make the work easier. Then we help you define your show, take you through story and character development, teach you to build strong pitches with innovative follow up techniques and how to get the decision makers to take your calls.

But selling a show isn’t only about that…

We also teach about mistakes to avoid, how to act like a pro, legal issues, how to stay motivated, how to develop the relationships you’ll need and many, many other topics to help you succeed!

Our hosts are long time friends Todd and Keith.

Todd has spent the last 20 years in sales and marketing for major companies such as AT&T and Microsoft. Over the years Todd has met with, pitched and sold to companies all over North America.

Todd has worked with Keith on the early stages of his shows. His love of numbers and black and white views bring the flip side to Keith’s creativity.

Todd lives in sunny Florida with his wife and 2 children.

 

Coming out of school Keith knew he was creative but wasn’t sure how to use that creativity to earn a living. He worked in a variety of jobs before finding his way into the film industry 15 years ago – eventually working his way up to 1st Assistant Director and Unit Production Manager.

Although he enjoyed this work he still didn’t have an outlet for his creativity – until he thought of an idea for a Reality TV show.

Over the last 7 years Keith has attended festivals and conferences learning the process of creating a sellable show, and just as importantly, figuring out how to get to the decision makers.

When Keith shopped his first show at the Banff Television Festival he had five production companies wanting to option it and was contacted shortly thereafter by CAA in Los Angeles who now represent him and his shows.

Since then he has had two shows optioned by production companies in Canada and the US, one of which a major US Broadcaster commissioned and shot a demo for, and he continues to work developing shows with companies and executives throughout North America.

Keith lives In Vancouver with his wife and his motorcycle.
