CREATING A MONSTER
By reviewing past archival footage from well-known reality shows and talking to past contestants, this documentary short explores the way in which reality television is constructed and consumed. This leads to a bigger ethical question about the psychological impact on the contestants: Is the fault placed on reality television producers or the audience who consumes their product?
