Ann Arbor's filmmaking Farah brothers feature David Alan Grier and Zack Pearlman in BTN pilot
The show profiles celebrity alumni from the Big 10 conference and follows them as they return to visit their school's campus.
The pilot focused on comedian/actor David Alan Grier (a U-M grad originally from Detroit), and featured recent Pioneer grad and film and television actor Zack Pearlman. Grier apparently tried to teach U-M basketball stars Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway. Jr. how to shoot three-pointers during the episode.

In an email, Chris Farah said, "(The show) would give us a chance at a lot of great roadtrips if it gets picked up."
There's no listing yet for repeat showing of "Big 10 Celebrity Homecoming," but Farah believes they will happen soon. Stay tuned for updates.
