Since I have not officially mentioned what the idea for my first show is, here goes. My idea for all of my shows is to change people's perceptions about a culture, about a city through experience. By understanding the culture and seeing the beautiful and amazing things about it.
My first show is going to be on the South side of Chicago. I personally don't know a lot of people from the North side who have ventured down there. All I hear about the South side is the violence and crime from the news reports. Even Second City has an entire show about the South side of Chicago and makes jokes about how people from Northern Chicago know nothing about it. So I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to make my first show, and since I can't financially afford to make a show abroad quite yet, it will be the perfect start.
I was originally going to move out of Chicago at the end of October. One of my friends is from the South side and also a bouncer at a bar I work at. He told me that before I left Chicago, he had to show me the South side. It perfectly fit my show idea, and at that moment I knew I had to do it. With Chicago being such a big media production city, I thought it would be the perfect place to make my start.
With this show, I will present production companies and tv stations with my idea, hopefully they will like it and want to pick it up. I am a tall white blonde female going to explore the South side of Chicago with a 6'3 football player built black man named Taji. I'm sure I will learn a lot, stereotypes will be broken and my experience will change me for the better.
