Backyard Invention TV Show – Casting Call
Engel Entertainment, Inc. an Emmy Award-winning television production company based in New York City that produces programming for networks such as PBS, Discovery, History, National Geographic and A&E, is currently producing a new show for a major cable network about homemade inventions. The show is hosted by two invention enthusiasts who will travel the country meeting the brilliant minds behind extraordinary and out-of-this-world backyard creations.
We’re looking for big character hacker/builder/maker/tinkerers who are working on large-scale, mechanical or technological creations. These creations can be anywhere in the continental US but must be jaw dropping, imaginative, visual, easy to demonstrate, and open to being put to the test on the show. Ideally, the inventions are homegrown creations, being built in your backyard or garage.
