'This' unscripted skein heads to Mipcom

Hotchkiss Industries will shop its unscripted series "This versus. That" at Mipcom in October via a distrib pact inked with Beyond Distribution. "This" is really a mixture of science and comedy that seeks to check the usual understanding and established scientific ideas through unconventional experiments and demos carried out by experts. Series is located by Marc DeCarlo, Chris Tallman ("Reno 911") and Kaira Sherman ("Whose Lines are it Anyway"). " 'This versus That' may be the television project I had been determined to make," Hotchkiss topper Jon Hotchkiss stated. "It's the elegant marriage of my two passions: unraveling life's mysteries through science and dynamic story telling." Hotchkiss' past series include NBC's "My Father is preferable to Your Father" and also the Science Channel's evergreen fave "Punkin Chunkin." Contact Variety Staff at news@variety.com
