Meetings with Executives and Producers
August 9 to 13, 2010
It is not just having contacts in Hollywood. It is finding those contacts that can help you find work and be successful. Sherwood Oaks offers this class only once a year. This year the class will run an entire week. It takes place at Sony Studios, Warner Bros Studios and Beverly Hills.
This class is limited to 20 people and on Monday and Friday to 15 students. This gives an opportunity for students to get to know executives without being a distant face in the crowd. Guests include the Chairman of Sony, the famous producer of Karate Kid and Oceans 11-13, Jerry Weintraub, Chairman of Phoenix Pictures (Shutter Island) and numerous more.
This class sells out every year!

Thanks a lot to all of our attendees for our sold out June 2010 Backdoor to Hollywood class and we are excited to hear about your call backs and interest from the guest speakers. We had over 20 producers. Check out our clips from our sold out executive class. Thanks for the students that let me know that they already received calls from executives interested in their material.
