Created by Shane Scheel and Anderson Davis, For the Record began in 2010 in a bar in East Hollywood. Since then, FTR has journeyed to New York, Chicago, SXSW in Austin, Las Vegas and other global destinations. For the Record has transformed the works of Quentin Tarantino, Baz Luhrmann, Martin Scorsese, John Hughes and other filmmakers into its theatrical productions.
“The first time I saw For the Record, I knew it would make a great live TV event,” said Mark Bracco, executive VP of programming and development for Dick Clark Productions. “We are thrilled to partner with ABC and For the Record to create a truly unique live-television experience.”
