FOX Welcomes 'On the Lot' Submissions
The winner might get to touch Steven Spielberg's beard
If you're over 13 and think you have the chops to be the next great Hollywood filmmaker, FOX is now accepting submissions for "On the Lot," a reality show produced by Mark Burnett and Steven Spielberg.
Films of under five minutes fitting the other application criteria are already up on thelot.com. The submission process runs through Dec. 1. Users can critique the available films before the applicants are winnowed down to 16 when the show begins this spring.
The website has been newly expanded to allow for all sorts of film-based hilarity in the months leading up to the show's yet-to-be-determined premiere date./
Each week, contestants will have to make short film in a variety of genres, working with professional writers and professional crew along with guest star actors. The show will run two nights a week, with an hour-long "Film Premiere" episode, followed by a "Box Office" results show the next night. Apparently the results will be determined by viewers at home, viewers like you, dear reader.
The winner will receive a $1-million development deal at DreamWorks and the chance to breathe particles of the same air as Spielberg.
