Road to the Emmys: Reality and nonfiction
Coming up next in Variety Emmy preview coverage is today's section devoted to reality programming (the non-competition kind) and nonfiction. Here's what we have to offer:
-- An inside look at the development process for unscripted TV.
-- The importance of fundraising to smallscreen documentary-makers.
-- TV's fascination with reality stars from places well off the beaten path.
-- A focus on the prestige project that is "Frozen Planet."
-- Profiles of five of the most compelling personalities from unscripted TV.
-- An overview of the many Emmy contenders in reality and nonfiction.
A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
