My first television series pitch

See also: My first television series pitch ~ by Jason Carswell

  • In the afternoon (2023-03-06), I submitted my 3 pitches to their online submission form: https://TV1.Wufoo.com/forms/z1ln7v5g06fp9qe
  • That evening, a couple gentlemen from TV1 (subscription television owned by Bell Canada) visited the Windsor Media Center to present their production histories, explained how as television producers they are accepting series pitch submissions, and held five-minute personal face-to-face meetings with everyone who presented a series concept.
  • The producers explained that TV1 will:
    1. provide all the professional filmmaking gear required
    2. provide a modest budget
    3. sponsors are permitted, but not advertising
    4. broadcast the series on TV1 for 90 days
    5. after 90 days the series belongs 100% to the series creator(s)
    6. creators may share it elsewhere (YouTube, etc) but TV1 may not fund additional seasons absent TV1 promotion
  • They will return to Windsor in July.

Maple Fringe Majority, television series pitch

See also: Maple Fringe Majority, television series pitch ~ by Jason Carswell

  • In the face-to-face (mentioned above), it was agreed that an authentic documentary format is preferable to dramatizations (and easier). Thus, I've focused on that premise and expanded it further here.
  • The name "Maple Fringe Majority" holds several layers of meaning.
    • Justin Trudeau pejoratively called resistance to his WEF tyranny the "fringe minority".
    • Much speculation abounds whether "the fringe" are a minority or actually a majority.
    • The fringe has embraced "fringe minority" label with pride and made it their own.
    • Humanity across the globe respects the inspiring peaceful resistance movement of Canada, thus the use of "Maple" is universal, rather than limited to Canadians.
    • Jason Carswell is already squatting on http://MapleFringe.com and related sites, originally intended to become a federated decentralized forum/chat instance of Movim, as an alternative to the technocracy surveillance, control, and exploitation platforms of Facebook/Messenger. However, setting up such a platform securely with trusted admins is more difficult than one might imagine. Fortunately, Jason's expertise is in media production, not social medial administration.

Logline

Logline (aka elevator pitch):

The Maple Fringe Majority television series consists of reflections from diverse free-thinkers and truth-seekers from Windsor and Essex County who've formed freedom and prepper communities, sharing political analysis and critical insights on local, national, and global issues, while showing how to organize, take action, find alternatives, and spread solutions to improve our communities, region, Canada, and our planet Earth to better resist, survive, and thrive in the face of the undemocratic monopolistic tyrannical new world order threatening our freedoms and futures.
