The best, most exhausting week of training you’ll ever have

Due to continued COVID restrictions in California film production, the 2022 Summer Workshop in LA has been canceled.

Thanks Sneak On The Lot!!!  Best Summer training EVER!!!!

Whether an experienced film & video production teacher or just starting out, there is so much depth and a wide breath of the scope and application of creating a movie that attending the Sneak on the Lot summer workshop should be a foundational part and a requirement to teach the medium.

This workshop provides the two most important things in life; hands-on film skills and relationships.

My Logline of the experience:
Leary film teachers from across the country embark on a journey to make a short film as they learn more than they thought they ever would.

Once we became introduced to Sneak On The Lot, we knew we had a partner for life. So during the past 2 years, over 40 Ladue High School students have taken part in the curriculum. Without a doubt, Sneak On The Lot has helped boost interest in our program, educated our film students immensely, and student interest in our film classes is at an all-time high!

I have 3 Seniors who just graduated and will be attending film school in the fall. Sneak On The Lot was a MAIN component of their successful admission into their chosen colleges

After attending the SOTL workshop, I completely repaced my curriculum to match industry standards.

Fletch & Chet’s passion for filmmaking is unmatched.  It’s infectious.

The SOTL WS gave me massive street credit. Now I know what a real Hollywood-style shoot is all about…prep to post.  This experience was incredible and the most valuable workshop I have ever attended.

The Hollywood Experience

A week in Hollywood and you’ll be ready to teach the craft of filmmaking.

In addition to learning the ins and outs of filmmaking Sneak On The Lot creates a three fold Hollywood experience for all our summer workshop participants.

Professional Mentorship on Set

During the workshops all the participants work side-by-side with some of the best Hollywood professionals in the film industry. While on set, each participant rotates through all of the departments: Production, Camera, Lighting, Sound, Art, Make-up, Hair, Wardrobe and Directing. By structuring the experience in this manner, the participants learn by doing while accomplishing the task together with a professional mentor.

Hollywood Facility Exposure

Throughout the workshop the participants will be taken to Hollywood facilities and given tours, helping them to understand the big picture of making movies. The facilities visited vary each year. Facilities visited in the past include: Deluxe Film Laboratories, EFilm, Soundelux, Todd A.O., Universal Studios Backlot, Warner Brothers Backlot, among others.

Hollywood Cultural Submersion.

In addition to seeing the filmmaking part of Hollywood Sneak On The Lot feels it is also important to see a little of the “Hollywood Culture”. Almost every night the participants are taken out on the town to see a few different sites. Some of the places visited are the Kodak Theater where the Oscars are broadcast each year, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, City Walk, The El Capitan and Grauman’s Chinese Theater among other sites. In addition, the participants will usually take in a little music either at the Concert Series on the Santa Monica Pier or catch some of Los Angeles’ best jazz at JAX.

In-Class Training

From development to distribution we’ll cover it all in four days. You won’t sleep much.

In addition to receiving a great experience on-set with real professionals, the workshop offers unique opportunities to learn the details of every phase of the production. This is accomplished through discussions and practical applications scenarios that will enable the workshop participants to return to their classrooms and help their students to create better films with the resources they have.

Whether you are a student or instructor, there’s a package for you
