It will probably feature "filmmakers" who would be more fitting on an episode of The Real World. This is going to be another formulaic show that will just add to the pool of gold coins that both Spielberg and Burnett already swim around in. In five years or so if we still hear about any of the contestants I'll be surprised. Furthermore, this will add to the uncountable examples of works of television that have finally shown me that television is not the medium for creative, artistic and unique content (no matter how hard I want it to be).

They're all going to be complete amateurs showing that any Joe Schmo can make a shitty genre film. I doubt there will be any self-respecting filmmakers on the show.
