Looking for a crew

Once we decided on a concept and cut our deal a whole lot of nothing happened for several weeks.  Every few days I would call Bob and ask him if he had found a crew to shoot and edit MotorSport Ranch - he was always very positive - a trait Bob has perfected. 

One afternoon Bob called me and invited me to meet with a crew that had worked on another reality show based in Dallas - I had no idea there was a reality show based in Dallas…  We met with them and frankly I was not impressed.  They seemed very young and somewhat unprofessional.  Bob was running the meeting and decided they were a good fit and offered the job to them and everyone seemed happy. 

A week or two later Bob explained that he decided they were not a good fit - I let it go and asked what the next step was.  HD Republic shared office space with a production company called Mad River - http://www.madriverpost.com and they caught wind of the project and expressed an interest in producing it.  Bob engaged their services and we scheduled a weekend test shoot.  The day before the test shoot they backed out of the project indicating they were not confident that they could produce a reality program - their experience was in commercial work. 

I was starting to get worried…
