FOX TV’s On The Lot – the first reality show that matters – at least for film and video makers?
Here's the link to see the best shorts films created by the On The Lot contestants - these include the videos that aired during episode 2 as well as those that were created but not broadcast. Remember, these were all written, shot and edited within a 24 hour time span - with a three person production crew who had never met before an din some case, who didn't like each other and did not get along at all. Despite that, most of these look pretty darn good.
