Money in bricks and mortar…
Documentary filmmaker and writer, Oobah Butler, returns to Channel 4 with two brand new documentaries ‘How I Made a Million in 90 Days’ and ‘How to Trick Your Way onto the Property Ladder’.
Tim Hancock, Channel 4 Commissioning Editor:
“Oobah bridges the divide between YouTube-ready stunts and long-form documentary making; resulting in highly unique, intelligent, funny, and frequently mindboggling results.”
‘How to Trick Your Way onto the Property Ladder’, sees Oobah masterminds a range of stunts and tricks designed to get two young first time buyers onto the increasingly elusive first rung of the property ladder – eventually achieving just that.
Oobah’s unconventional approach explores how we got into this mess in the first place: with UK house prices typically 9 times greater than average wages, and the widest wage-to-property disparity in over 150 years, how can today’s generation be expected to follow the conventional path to getting a house? And is it legal to hypnotise an estate agent into selling a house for a fiver?
‘How I Made a Million in 90 Days’ tells the incredible story of how Oobah Butler did just that. Setting himself the challenge to follow in the ways of the many ‘business gurus’ who claim to be able to give you the secrets to wealth.
Oobah Butler:
“I’m really excited to have the chance to do two new films with Channel 4. Me and my team have spent just over a year working on them, and they are very different. The second lets me fulfil my dream and become Kevin McCloud in entering the world of property shows. In it, I try to solve the housing crisis in Britain, and help a couple in Liverpool try to get their first home. It’ll be great to see what everybody thinks of them. They’ve been so much fun for us to make.”
