COLLINS COLLEGE FILM STUDENTS WORKING ON NEW, WILD WEST HIP-HOP REALITY SHOW
Students have done all the work in pre-production and are the entire production crew

What: Collins College students, along with instructors Vic Barrow and Rob Agee, are producing a reality TV show called "The Showdown." The shoot lasts a minimum of 12-hours a day, every day, which allows each student the opportunity to gain real, hands-on-experience.

Show synopsis: "The Showdown" is a western themed, Hip-Hop reality show where contestants must live out a pristine lifestyle enduring everything from no cell phones to no indoor plumbing. Challenges such as mechanical bull riding will settle all disagreements. And there will not be guns but there will be show-downs using wits and words in the form of MC battles. Contestants can be voted off the show by the viewing audience via cell phone.

Who: An all-volunteer, Collins College student crew, 22 crew members each day and 12 cast (not including extras).

When: Filming begins June 12 for a period of 12 weeks anytime from 10am to 11pm. Best photo opportunity is around noon, when the battle scenes are shot.

Where: Goldfield Ghost Town, 4650 N. Mammoth Mine Rd Goldfield AZ. 85219
