Best of luck. Ignore all that stuff below. Always a "buzzkill" in every crowd.

Todd,
I put this toppic on the NNJR PCA site, and to my surprise here are some comments I received:

"Well, maybe not an outright scam. It sounds more like some guys came up with an idea for a show and haven't sold it yet. Instead, they have set up a schedule of events and have lined up participants who are paying the costs of producing the show. I suspect after the events have been run, they will then try to sell the product. Clearly, they were not able or did not try to line up financing before hand.

In my opinion, all the participants should be treated like investors, and should share in the profits if and when the show sells."

and.........

"I looked through the details of what your friend has experienced with the production so far and I think that MoreIBNR's post above is correct. They seem to making this show on their own, "on spec" is the term used for that process, with no money from a network or channel. This isn't necessary a bad thing except that when you make a show "on spec" you usually only shoot the first episode and then take that episode around to networks and channels to get full funding to complete the series.
