History
Joe Gillis came up with the idea for Beyond Geek about 2008. He wanted to make a show about things that interested him, and he felt there was a void that needed to be filled when it came to shows about geeky things. It started as a project he was going to do while he was on hiatus in-between seasons on the TV shows he was working on. The problem was the hiatus never happened, so it became a project he worked on during any extra time he had – which wasn't a lot. Eventually, he decided it was time to bite the bullet, and he went all in with a Field of Dreams approach to television – if you make it, they will come. So he called in all his favors, talked his wife into using all their savings, and they set out to make the first season.[2]
