How to Create a Pilot in 24 Hours

With the experience of over 15 years hosting in the entertainment industry I’ve developed many tips on how to succeed. Chris, an aspiring host from Switzerland, reached out to me and wanted my media company to produce and edit a pilot that he could use to either start his own series or send as an audition tape for other projects. Within 24 hours we were able to brainstorm the creative, shoot and edit his pilot, called “Swiss Outta’ Water”.

Prior to shooting the film, I was able to give Chris some insights on how to host, interview, and talk to the camera.
