“It was a time in my life that was so special I will never ever forget it. I shouldn’t say that to my two sons, but I was never that excited in my life as when I was on that show.”


The Film

“Come On Down!” is a film about game show culture, the American dream, and the once-in-a-lifetime experience of hearing the words, “Come on down!”

In 2009-2010, we embarked upon a complete re-edit of "Come On Down!" We recognized the importance of creating a tightly-edited, refreshing and positive film that focused on the charming cast of characters that we met and the shared cultural experience that they had.

The stories we have woven together share these devotees personal HISTORIES with the game show, their JOURNEY West to get to the show, THE MOMENT that they became one of the chosen few called to “come on down,” and their unique TAKEAWAY from the experience.

“The Price Is Right” holds a special place in the hearts of four generations of Americans- regardless of age, race, class, or gender. For many people, affection for the show stems from childhood or a family memory. For others, the possibility of a televised “15 minutes of fame” or valuable prizes is the attraction. But for the lucky few who hear their name before the iconic phrase, “come on down,” the priceless “Price-Is-Right-story” becomes the most cherished reward. The story becomes part of their identity as they re-tell it over and over again and re-live the experience throughout their lives.

As we continue to shape the final cut of the film, we hope that you will stay tuned and continue to support "Come On Down!" We are looking forward to a screening party near you!
