Many of you that follow this blog have been hearing for months about an independent series we have been doing called 16 bars to be a star. This program is a reality competition that takes many of its cues from other reality shows. There has been plenty of drama and unexpected twists during the filming of this series, which started back in August of this year. Up until recently we had the backing and support of Clear Channel Communications. Unfortunately towards the end of October, Clear channel, the parent company of Iheartradio.com and several other localized radio stations decided to change the format for the radio station that was sponsoring the reality show. This left many of the crew and contestants with many questions. We were nearing the completion of the first season. Many of the participants in the actual filming of this reality show had been working for free and donating all their skill and free time towards producing a stellar, local reality show.
This also left many of the contestants, who had made it through the preliminary rounds, what was going to happen and would they get to compete still for the 360 deal that was promised to them if they won the competition. Sadly the answer to that question is no. There will be no 360 marketing deal for the winner of the reality competition. However there will be a large cash prize given to the winner courtesy of Clear Channel Communications. So to answer all the questions in one swoop, yes we will be shooting one final episode this season to determine the winner of 16 bars to be a star. This will be all competitors’ last chance to prove they are the best in South Carolina and take home a serious cash prize. So in case you have not been out to any of the filming here is the first episode pt1 and 2. If you are looking for more independent film shorts check out www.fanatikproductions.com.
