It was like boot camp for the movie industry. Plan on having your head explode a little the first day on set.

Without Sneak On The Lot I would never have finished my first feature film in high school.

Sneak On The Lot has given me opportunity after opportunity in my career. I owe a great deal of my start to that program.

We just held our Film Festival in front of 250 people from the local community – thanks for a wonderful curriculum.

We chose Sneak On The Lot because it was created by professional filmmakers. It uses everything that we want to teach the kids on an academic level.

I’ve never seen anything like this on the web, I had a blast.

An invaluable experience if you are using motion media in your classroom.

In 19 years of teaching film and multimedia, I have never seen a simple curriculum that can compare to Sneak On The Lot.

GO! There is no better way to see the industry first hand + have someone walk you through the process while feeling you are a part of it.

I would absolutely recommend this workshop.  You can't get this experience anywhere else.

Wow! What a week. I have learned so much and now I will take it home and apply it in my classroom!

Sneak On The Lot puled back the curtain and exposed the true magic of how films are crafted.
