Producer Charlie Ebersol (The Wanted) and partner Justin Hochberg premier a new show, Off The Grid – Million Dollar Manhunt, this Thursday night, Dec. 8th.
The Background
America has 30 million cameras recording four billion hours of footage each week. Everyone is being watched. Now witness host and master tracker Kevin Reeve give two everyday Americans the chance to escape this surveillance and win one million dollars. Contestants race to complete simple tasks and evade Kevin and his highly-trained team of trackers hunting them down with cutting-edge technology for the largest prize in cable television history. It’s the adventure of a lifetime and it’s only on The History Channel.
Could you stay “off the grid” for one day and win $1,000,000? Watch and find out.
This is Off the Grid: Million Dollar Man Hunt.
“It’s a cat-and-mouse chase,” explained Justin Hochberg, one of the shows two producers, who spoke exclusively with Government Security News on Nov. 29. “It goes back and forth.”
The highly-trained team of professional pursuers is led by host and master tracker, Kevin Reeve, whose company, onPoint Tactical, LLC, offers a scouting, tracking and wilderness survival skills course which has been taken by SEALS, Rangers, FBI, Secret Service, U.S. Marshal Service and other law enforcement agents.
After months of preparation, Off the Grid was shot over the course of six hours, on one day, in which Reeve and his team of tactical, urban survival and military intelligence specialists — based in an operations center in downtown L.A that was constructed specifically for this project — pull out all the stops.
They deploy a wide range of physical security technologies to help them locate and keep their eyes on Dan and Scott, as they wend their way through L.A. These include a slew of network cameras and related gear from Axis Communications, a Sweden-based company (whose North American headquarters are in Chelmsford, MA), which has long pioneered the transition from analog to digital video surveillance technology.
