Quiet Desperation is a reality series showcasing the best and brightest in Boston's creative scene. Recently, we had partnered up with My38 CBS and signed a contract to air our show Sunday afternoons at 12:30pm for a 6 episode season. Over the past few weeks the team has been working feverishly on a pilot episode that adhered to FCC law and was "PG" in its content.
Unfortunately, on Monday March 24th, during a five minute meeting with CBS, the VP of sales breached the agreement to air the series before viewing the pilot we had prepared for them, citing drug humor and explicit language in online videos unrelated to the series scheduled to air, costing our grassroots production house thousands of dollars in production and advertising costs.
Quiet Desperation will continue to champion the fight to put creative programming that shines a light on the movers and shakers in Boston's art's scene on local television channels that otherwise fill their schedules with re-runs , paid advertising, and caricature reality shows such as "Southie Rules" and "Wicked Single"
The reality is this: Boston has been the home of many famous artists. Khalal Gibran, the Lebanese poet found Boston to be a place of art and culture in a rapidly decaying world. Celebrities such as G-love, John Mayer, Conan O'brien, Jay Leno, Amanda Palmer, Passion Pit, Aerosmith, Boston, Morphine, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Louie C.K, Boston Pops and countless others all have hailed from or lived in this city. Sadly, Boston is not recognized for its exploding arts scene. This is why so much talent leaves the city. Quiet Desperation hopes to change that perception while bringing you the best that Boston has to offer.
