An Australian production house is the first local production company to have a pilot commissioned by MTV International.
The Feds has created a reality show, currently with the working title The In Crowd about people trying to break into a sub-culture or scene that they’ve always wanted to.
The pilot, shot in Sydney, will follow two people, a wannabe magician and a girl trying out on a roller derby team.
Should the pilot be picked up for a series, the shoot will go international to follow different hopefuls as they try to crack the Texan rodeo clown school, skateboarders in Los Angeles, and debutants in London.
Lisa Gray, head of content for The Feds told Encore: “We’re really enjoying this show and its the type of programming we’d like to work on in the future. Making it for a global audience is exciting. Hopefully it means more opportunities like this.
