What makes a good reality show?

Non-Fiction & Reality Television: From Starting Gun To Finish Line. Non-fiction programming continues to be a primary engine for television jobs and careers. In this session, we explore the life cycle of a reality series, from concept to execution. Producers and executives come together to share their insights into the process of not only developing and selling a series, but guiding the production to process to ensure that the finished product reflects the creative priorities of its creator as well as meets the commercial expectations of its distributor.
