Real World Creator Forms Documentary Film Division
With the reality television genre a victim of extreme overcrowding, the production company that started it all is moving on.
Bunim/Murray, creators of Real World, Road Rules, and The Simple Life, have launched a documentary division, charged with “shedding light on [subjects] that haven’t been focused on,” Jonathan Murray, the company’s co-founder and president, told FishbowlNY.
The first feature? Autism: The Musical, premiering this April at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Murray said moving into documentary film is a natural direction for Bunim/Murray, as “The Real World is a more commercial form of documentary.”
He also admitted that “there’s a lot of horrible reality stuff on air.”
