If you haven't seen Fox' "On The Lot", you owe it to yourself to check it out. This new reality show is for aspiring filmmakers with the winner getting a movie gig at Steven Spielberg's Dreamworks studio. Memorial Day, the 18 finalists all showed a one-minute comedy film they were assigned to put together and the viewing audience votes for their favorites a la American Idol. Three filmmakers will get the boot this week and eventually audience votes will bring it down to one winner.
I do not like the usual three judge panel talking about each film, at least right now, because they all seem to say the same thing. Either all three loved the film or all three hated it- there doesn't seem to be any middle ground right now with them.
But the crux of the show is the films and it's interesting to see all the filmmakers' creativity. It's a great look at what works and what doesn't work in films.
If you haven't seen the show yet, catch up at www.thelot.com.
