Anecdotes

Reality Show is a 2004 documentary film directed by Colin Trevorrow. It was written by Daniel Klein and Trevorrow, who also acted as producers along with Peter J. Clark. The film documents the attempted production of an unaired pilot for a reality television show titled Rock the Party.

Production

The project began production in 2003, as a self-produced pilot for a reality television show titled Rock the Party. The pilot was funded by entrepreneur Dan Sherbondy, who also hosted a late-night television show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

According to director Colin Trevorrow, "It's footage of a real thing that happened, which is this guy, who is kind of a lunatic, and really just the world's biggest asshole, took a crew off of Craigslist, and a bunch of women, and told them they were on a reality show.

Filming locations included a hotel in the Mexican city of Rosarito Beach. Trevorrow said, "The shoot at the hotel was the seediest, worst experience of our lives…we made the worst reality show in history." Sherbondy ultimately gave Trevorrow all the footage. The crew then filmed each other giving interviews about the troubled production. Trevorrow cut the interviews and footage together to form the documentary.
