Project Proposal

Prepared by: paul mcdonald

March 30, 2009Project Title: America’s Team FCBASIC LOGLINE:

“THE FORT WILLIAM FOOTBALL CLUB are ‘THE BAD NEWS BEARS OF SCOTLAND.”

This is a professional Scottish soccer team that is embarrassing; recently

LOSING 67 OUT OF THEIR LAST 70 matches - and was outscored by more than 150

goals last year.

To the surprise of the British Press, pmac2nite Entertainment signed an

agreement with Fort William FC to import as many as 7-10 lucky Americans -

who will have the chance to represent their country on a show called “Amer-

ica’s Team.” The idea is to import a group of young, good looking athletic

AMERICANS to come over and help the team try to go from “worst to first.”

Next year - the jerseys and shirts will bear the name “America’s Team” - and

will play in Scotland in the Red, White and Blue. Along the way, the Yankee

lads will also drink their beer and “romance” their ladies.

How will the Scots react to the Americans?

Many opposing coaches and experts have reacted with the following: “to the

woman they will be rock stars - to the men - they will be lucky to leave a

pub alive!”

Can they work together - and turn Fort William into a winning football team?

Will sudden Yankee-Scottish romances create new couples or lasting conflicts

and heated rivalries? Will the town accept them - and rally around the team

that they have abandoned for the past decade?

What’s the Mood of the Show: Feel Good vs Confrontational?

This is a intended for a fun, one hour romp (aimed for broadcast in the UK

and US) — two VERY different cultures colliding in an arced series about

football, pride, and never giving up. Every episode takes you into the pri-

vate lives of the players - bringing the viewers along on their journey to

take the team from worst to first. Each episode will feature the intense ac-

tion and suspense that will be created as the players invade the Scottish

Highlands - all of this set in a town and stadium that has been cited by the

BBC as the most scenic in the UK (used for the “Harry Potter” series). The

show will feature the personality clashes, heated rivalries, relationships

and alliances, team conflicts, torrid, steamy romances, and ultimately the

unity built between the players and their adopted hometown.

All of this drama leads up to a pro match in the final act of the show (ed-

ited a-la a highlights reel with energetic rock music soundtrack - featuring

innovating and inspiring modern artists from the US and UK).

A First: A TV and Online Interactive Experience

Viewers will be able to go and join online - to vote on player choices,

strategies, interact with players and coaches -as well as a myriad of other

great features. You can watch the series - and then interact with the play-

ers and the managers daily on the www.AmericasTeamFC.com website! Watch all

of the intricate relationships, managerial decisions, injuries, team con-

cerns, training regimens, strategies - all there for you to interact with an

have you say with other members, viewers, and coaches. One question remains:

will they really have the chance to lift the Trophy for the first time in

their history at the end of the season?

A Team Comprised of Americans and Scots

Most story lines will be based upon the “Fish out of Water” concept - humor-

ous and often provoking interactions with the locals - featuring the affable

underdogs from the USA. Everyone will find a player that they can identify

with and rally around - and effort will be made to find diverse players from

across the country that everyone can identify with.

All of this action will have the luxury of the stunning visual beauty of the

rugged Scottish Highlands…as different and difficult a place there is in the

UK - one that is often hostile to American players.

The Roster: Handsome & Dynamic

The program will work to attract both men and women - with a strong late teen

- 49 year audience. We will target men and the vastly growing Soccer popula-

tion in the US - who will love the competition and ability to make serious

and impactful decisions with the web and interactive components upon a real

sports franchise. We will also work to attract a strong young female audi-

ence, as well as “US soccer moms.” They will be attracted to the dynamic male

athletic personalities, their back stories, histories, and interactions with

each other and the “episodic” drama that will unfold as they interact with

the locals…especially as relationships start - break apart - etc.

Men will keep watching because of the rugged competition (Highland League

soccer can be as rough and physical as American Football - played under harsh

conditions), the energy, pace - confrontations and conflicts, the caustic re-

lationships between US players and Scottish coaches, budding rivalries with

“villains” from other teams, and best of all - chance to participate in the

action, with the the thrill of turning a losing franchise around - and like

the world of fantasy sports - they can pick the starting team and choose the

strategy. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of taking a team from worst to

first - especially with the whole world watching.

Business Details

We have a license intact with the league and team - a solid scouting staff

filled with ex-players from the prestigious English Premier League - and a

sizzle reel completed. We intend for this series to be ready for broadcast

September 2009.
