A Popular New Board Game Transforms To A Powerful Television Game Show. Efforts are underway to digitally translate the game for broadcast audiences that will incorporate the latest design and display technologies. The game’s proven format and unequaled advertising opportunities has the potential to make “You’ve Been Sentenced!” a rising star within the television game show genre. Brands Become Part Of The Game. Within the word game’s fast moving and fun format, advertiser’s brand names are incorporated into actual game play receiving 3-5 minutes of onscreen airtime. Unlike television commercials that allow viewers to switch channels or pass over advertising messages using TIVO or DVR devices, featured advertisers and their brands are provided lengthy, multi-minute, visual and audio exposure to the viewing audience. As the hottest selling new board game since Trivial Pursuit, “You’ve Been Sentenced!” is gaining popularity in three foreign markets and is currently available to North American consumers in both the U.S. and Canada. Arizona State University is launching an online version of “You’ve Been Sentenced!” in June 2009 for educational use by learning institutions that will allow the game to be played on a peer to peer level by student players within different classrooms, schools and even countries all in real time. This uniquely original game has earned several awards including Creative Child Magazine Seal of Excellence 2007, the Spewgie Award for Best Family Fun Game 2007 and a National Parenting Seal of Approval. A Financial Opportunity For Broadcasters That Offers Surprising Reach During each show, a selected game will allow the viewing audience to “play at home” for prizes and a chance to appear as a contestant on a future episode of “You’ve Been Sentenced!”. Sentences created by viewers can be submitted via text message and a website will allow viewers to sign up so that the day’s play at home cards can be automatically texted directly to them. Development efforts include a play at home DVD version of the televised game to be distributed through the McNeill Designs’ existing network of online and bricks and mortar retailers. The founding Director of Kitchens On Fire, Inc., Jamee Ruth, a renowned chef and highly regarded expert on housewares and culinary equipment, who has authored four cooking and specialty kitchen equipment books, will be using her design credentials and experience to serve as the contractor and manage each makeover project as she does with or without the cameras. Jaime Gomez, a writer, producer and director best known for his acting role in the hit CBS series Nash Bridges is in talks to host the show. The "Kitchens On Fire Show" will reveal to the audience a humanistic side of life as a firefighter that the general public rarely sees. Dedicated to remodeling working firehouse kitchens, where the firemen serve three day, round-the-clock shifts, the show will also focus on the heroes, many yet unsung, and the everyday heroic exploits of these valiant civil servants who put their lives on the line every day.
The following brief offers insight into the “Empty Hands” screenplay written by Jaime Gomez now in development with Parris-Randall Productions. “Empty Hands” The story of the Second Coming of Christ as an unemployed Mexican American construction worker who changes the world as told in modern day LA. It’s a mirror of the Gospels told in modern day Los Angeles with the Romans as the LAPD. He heals and performs miracles curing the sick and feeding the poor. He raises the dead and battles the devil with his band of homeless kid apostles… He suffers the betrayal of his friend, Dajus (Judas) that works and lives at the Soup Kitchen in downtown LA. Dajus sells a video to TMZ of the famous “Jesus of LA” laying hands on a homeless dude and the man dies… The cops want to catch him, the media wants to crucify him and his girlfriend wants to marry him. |
