However, this time I think I have outdone myself.
About a month ago, 8 of my close friends were gathered together and brought to our property to compete in Survivor: Bush. This was the first live action, actual reality, game of Survivor that I had ever set up - and to be honest, the results were incredible.
The guys were brought deep into the dense woods and swamps of Louisiana and given very little provisions. Literally, they had a tent, a machete, a few gallons of water, and ten or so boxes of Saltine Crackers. Other than that, the guys were forced to rough it through the blistering cold of the night and the excruciating heat of the day.
Other than the fact that they were living in the wilderness for three days, every few hours they would compete in physical and mental challenges that offered the winner Immunity from being voted out and other rewards. At Tribal Council, the survivors would vote off each contestant one by one until only two remained. The previous castaways would then vote on one winer - the Ultimate Survivor.
The entire experience was filmed by a small but determined camera crew throughout the entire weekend. With four constant cameras, no moment went missed. I hosted the show personally. After all was said and done, and the winner was chosen, I took the 40+ hours of footage and began editing it into weekly episodes very much akin to the real show.
And now... I present it to you! Every week, starting this coming Wednesday, Episodes will be released one by one. Not only that, but every single day the youtube account will be updated with deleted scenes, extended interviews, and other uncut material. The show will air for six weeks, and then in the seventh week a Reunion show will close the season.
This project is very dear to my heart. Literally, this has been my dream for years, and I've finally realized it and completed it. Now I want to share it with the world! Other than being extremely entertaining, the show serves as a great social experiment. To see people living in harsh environments and have to come together to eventually betray everyone is an interesting concept.
Of course, you all at The Pav will be updated constantly right here in this topic with content and episodes. This Wednesday, March 18th, the season premieres and I hope everyone will give it a chance and enjoy this dream with me!
Well, now that the wordy intro is said and done - here are the links to keep updated:
