No matter the topic, we will tell everyone&#8217;s story with respect and dignity but most importantly the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Painless Productions has signed a co-production agreement with Dan Pearson and his Dan 4 Entertainment (D4E).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":14928,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[5059,5060,4698],"class_list":["post-14927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-dan-4-entertainment","tag-dan-pearson","tag-painless-productions","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Painless Productions &amp; Dan Pearson Ink Co-Pro Pact - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/painless-productions-dan-pearson-ink-co-pro-pact\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Painless Productions &amp; Dan Pearson Ink Co-Pro Pact - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Painless Productions has signed a co-production agreement with Dan Pearson and his Dan 4 Entertainment (D4E).\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/painless-productions-dan-pearson-ink-co-pro-pact\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-08-07T14:21:20+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-08-07T15:10:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/Dan-Pearson-painless-productions-820.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"480\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"314\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/painless-productions-dan-pearson-ink-co-pro-pact\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/painless-productions-dan-pearson-ink-co-pro-pact\/\",\"name\":\"Painless Productions &amp; Dan Pearson Ink Co-Pro Pact - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-08-07T14:21:20+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-08-07T15:10:00+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/painless-productions-dan-pearson-ink-co-pro-pact\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/painless-productions-dan-pearson-ink-co-pro-pact\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/painless-productions-dan-pearson-ink-co-pro-pact\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Painless Productions &amp; Dan Pearson Ink Co-Pro Pact\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
