I have developed a unique reality show concept based on the company I work for and its empoyees--we have recently submitted it to various agencies and production firms. About a month ago when got a bite. An accomplished producer, met with my company’s President and myself. He determind that concept has legs, but needs some developing. There seems to be good synergy between us and the prodction company, but the figure that has been thrown out seems a little high--especially since we’ve found that this service is often probono. My real question is, is there a reputable site that we can post our reality concept...a site that producers and networks search for the “next big thing?” Please note: we would rather pay to post on a good site, as opposed to sumbitting it to a so-so, free site.

I look forward to any insight or suggestions!
