00:03Back in 2005, a friend asked me to come up with an idea for a TV show.
00:08I didn't know much about the TV business at the time, but I knew I wanted to do something completely
00:14new.
00:15Something that would battle against what was becoming known as reality TV.
00:20So, we set out to change television as we know it.
00:26Why not give it a go?
00:27Manifesto. If you don't have one, get one.
00:31Bring good to the world, man.
00:35Manifesto!
00:38After shooting wrapped, we were broke. We owed everyone money.
00:43We braved bad deals, poverty, personal conflicts, and con men.
00:55Despite the odds, before we knew it, we were pitching all over town.
00:5960 days, we're selling this show.
01:02A friend of ours pitched manifesto to someone at Oprah.
01:06So, we got the meeting, and it went very well.
01:10It's like a gigantic call to action. We can see it clearly.
01:14Manifesto! If you don't have one, get one!
01:17I almost can't believe I'm saying it, but I think we have a deal.
01:21It's perfect. I know it is.
01:24Manifesto!
01:25Manifesto!
01:27Filmmaking is a little bit like crime.
01:32Make it happen, and then deal with the casualties.
01:36Manifesto!
01:38Manifesto!
01:40Manifesto!
01:43Cabosgan, Yea DaOLL
