Mod Men is a reality based television show idea about how Mid-Century America ushered in the golden age of modern design. Clean lines replaced the traditional and the ornate while futuristic ideas captivated the world as America raced to the moon. By the time the modern era turned into the past, attics, basements, and barns became the resting place for many of these mid-century treasures - modern artifacts hidden in plain site. All with a story to be told and a price to be sold.
Richard McLean and Trifon Trifonopoulos travel the country discovering, buying, and selling Mid-Century Modern artifacts. Their vast network of pickers, antique store owners, and flea market mainstays uncover the collectables from our not-so-distant past; while auctions and estate sales reveal diamonds in the rough that have been passed down and mostly forgotten.
The unique stories behind each piece make the merchandise irresistible to set designers, interior decorators, and Hollywood's elite - a new generation of mid-century connoisseurs who give new life to old stuff.
This sizzle reel is being used to help pitch the idea to studio executives and distributors along with an elaborate show treatment.
