Glenn Beck’s TheBlaze announced this morning that the media company would be teaming up with Wild West Productions and Go Go Luckey Entertainment to launch ‘Pursuit Of The Truth’, a new reality series to find the next great documentary film. The series will bring together twenty selected filmmakers from across the country to prove to a panel of expert judges that their project is worthy of the grand prize – financing and worldwide distribution for their feature documentary film idea.
Applications are currently being accepted from filmmakers of all walks of life to be contestants on the new television series, with a deadline of January 31st, 2013.
A team of experienced producers and executives will be hand selecting twenty of the most compelling contestants to compete on the show. Contestants will be asked to perform a series of tasks during the ten-‐week production period for our panel of expert judges. They will be asked to not only prove the validity of their idea for a documentary and but also their filmmaking abilities. They will either survive or be eliminated based on that criteria.
Wild West Productions is an American film, television and entertainment production company founded in 2005 by leading actor, writer and producer Vince Vaughn. Go Go Luckey Entertainment, founded by Gary and Julie Auerbauch, is a Los Angeles based production company specializing in reality and scripted television.
“We are excited to continue to expand our programming with producers like Vince Vaughn, Peter Billingsley and Gary Auerbach,” said Joel Cheatwood, President and Chief Creative Officer for TheBlaze. “The documentary film, particularly those that seek the truth with no agenda, is an important art form that is struggling to survive in this media environment.”
“We are thrilled to provide an opportunity for filmmakers,” said Peter Billingsley. “Getting any film beyond the idea stage has become increasingly difficult these days, especially for documentary filmmakers that want to shine a light and make a difference. Our goal is to create a powerful annual platform to help filmmakers tell important and engaging stories.”
Gary Auerbauch added, “It has been our privilege to produce a long list of shows for a variety of networks and we are excited to now work on such an important show for TheBlaze. This project has special meaning for Go Go Luckey because it embodies such a worthy cause - enabling filmmakers to pursue the truth.”
Later today, GlennBeck.com will be posting an interview between Peter Billingsley and Glenn Beck from today’s Glenn Beck Radio Program. Stay tuned for more updates.

I hope more come out in the open to do this kind of thing and I pray their projects outdo, in money and popularity, that of the liberal spin doctors in Hollyweird land.
That’s really, really interesting. I am looking forward to seeing more. Some may say Beck is a bit off or too doom and gloom, but he is really trailblazing in this new media. As Rush and others have said in recent weeks, we have to change the trajectory of our culture, our education system and our media to avoid complete national collapse. This is a groundbreaking announcement.
Vince Vaughn is no Hollywood has been slouch either.
Good. Praying for Glenn’s great success.
I hate Vince Vaughn with a purple passion
and I love him
he is crude and appears in all kinds of movies that are not family friendly at all.
I could tell Vince Vaughn was libertarian conservative. Good for him! Here is is introducing Wliie Nelson and Keith Ricahrds (play it loud)

PING to you!
Didn’t he date Jennifer Anniston at one time?
I never watch TV or movies. I have no idea about Vaughn. I like Glenn, however. :)
“appears in all kinds of movies that are not family friendly”
I am not a family and so do not watch only family friendly movies.
so you encourage Holyweird filth and then somehow want “conservative” films.
Yeah, saw this! BTW, our film “Rockin’ the Wall” is on PBS right now!
Lighten up, Francis
Awesome! Good luck!
