B. Harrison Smith's latest project, "Hang Men" is making its debut on television's Discovery Channel at 11 p.m. this Friday.

The Kunkletown producer's reality show, previously titled "Towerjacks," is the first docudrama that explores the most dangerous job in America, "building, climbing and maintaining communication towers," according to its website."With more deaths per capita than any other industry, the job attracts a colorful array of extreme personalities who heroically erect and maintain the world's communication tower infrastructure: a perilous profession with virtually no rules," the website's promo says.To date there are eight episodes scheduled for production and Smith will produce them all.On Smith's website,

www.class85.com, it says he formed Class of '85 LLC "to create high quality products in all genres on smart budgets to yield top quality, profitable films and programming. Class of '85 works in partnership with Mark Kratter's Emergence Entertainment in both film and television and they have collaborated on their recent reality TV sales, while developing commercial feature film projects.""The concept of 'Hang Men' was brought to me by Brian Gallagher, who also coproduced my film 'Zombie Killers' and my upcoming film 'Camp Dread,'" said Smith."A man named Jim Fryer who works in the telecom industry came up with the overall concept about cell tower climbers and the original title 'Tower Jacks.' However, Discovery Channel changed the name to 'Hang Men.' My business partner, Mark Kratter, who already had two shows on the air, and I, created a demo reel for the networks. He shepherded this through the agencies and into the network. It took a year to do," he added.They filmed the demo reel in New Jersey but the pilot was filmed in upstate New York and also New Jersey. Plans are to shoot upcoming segments in Texas and also in Alaska.Smith's latest horror film, which he wrote and directed, "Camp Dread" will be released April 15."It was bought by Image Entertainment. It is getting great advance reviews," Smith said.It will have a limited theatrical release and it will be everywhere on DVD and eventually cable television.According to the film's website, it is about a popular franchise of the 1980s called the "Summer Camp" horror trilogy whose director/writer Julian Barrett's (Eric Roberts) career ended when the series did. Barrett plans to resurrect "Summer Camp" in a modern reboot that entails using a reality show as its template and source of fundraising. Should it succeed Barrett would once again be at the helm. He brings together an eclectic group of young "contestants" as well as his former stars. Barrett seems to have put together a sure fire recipe for success. But then people start dying. For real. "Elimination" takes on a whole new meaning.It also stars Danielle Harris and Felissa Rose."'Camp Dread' is a fun, funny, and at times unpredictable good time that goes for broke. Here's hoping it gets renewed for a second season," is a quote from Dread Central, a website that is dedicated to horror news, interviews and reviews.Smith's first film was "The Fields" which he wrote. The suspense psychological thriller is based on true events that happened to Smith in 1973. It starred Cloris Leachman and Tara Reid. According to its website, the movie is about a young boy and his family "who find the safety and solitude of their small farm shattered by a mysterious presence emerging from the vast cornfields surrounding their farm. Violence escalates as they struggle to find out what comes for them from ... the fields."Smith's second film, "6 Degrees of Hell" was also written by him.
