New reality TV series The Chair on making of two films

Viewers of a new TV reality show will soon find out what happens when two fledgling directors are given $850,000 to direct their own movies from the same script.

The Chair debuts on Sept 6 on the cable network Starz and documents the making of both movies. The show will be followed shortly after by the theatrical and digital releases of the two movies at the center of the docuseries.

The 10-week series will air in one-hour installments each Saturday through mid-November. It's the brainchild of Chris Moore, who produced the movies American Pie and Good Will Hunting.
