Writers: Lowell Ganz; Babaloo Mandel

Original Score by: Randy Edelman

Producers: Brian Grazer; Ron Howard

Video store clerk Ed Pekurny agrees to have his life filmed as a 24-hour reality television show. Ratings are lackluster until he gets involved with his brother's girlfriend, played by Jenna Elfman. Nothing like The Truman Show (1998), this film is actually a remake of an obscure French film, Louis the 19th, King of the Airwaves (1994).
