Yes, there has only been one episode so far and I am already commenting on this but I really enjoyed the pilot of this series. This was definitely my most anticipated new show all year. I finally watched it and it lived up to my expectations. I have always wanted to be a filmmaker and this show gives you some helpful tips. Also, Steven Spielberg produced this! Steven Spielberg! The director of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Schindler's List. Yes, him. This show, in my opinion, is better than American Idol, America'a Got Talent, Dancning With the Stars, and So You Think You Can Dance. All of those. That is a pretty big compliment.
On to the show. Here is the basis. Like I mentioned, there has only been one episode. Out of 12,000 people, 50 of them are sent to Los Angelos to become the next great filmmaker in this competition. They have to do everything a good director does to win the $1,000,000 movie deal for Dreamworks. In the first episode, they had to pitch a story idea to three judges. Carrie Fisher, Brett Ratner, and Garry Marshall. Some pitches were good, most sucked. Fourteen people were eliminated. The next challenge? They have to work together in pairs of three to make a 2-minute short in 24 hours. The first episode was continued, but here is the real question, who will become the next great filmmaker? Later on, people will have to vote for their favorite director.
Overall, this is a great reality elimination show. The idea is great, and I love hearing some of the zany or brilliant ideas of these amateur filmmakers. I do hope that there will be much more years to come for On the Lot. I enjoyed the first episode a lot, and I hope I enjoy the rest of the Season's shows. Anyway, this is a really good reality competition show, and I like this much more than half of the reality competition shows out there.
9/10
