In the two ""audition round"" episodes airing Tuesday, May 22 (9/8c) and Thursday, May 24 (9:30/8:30c) on FOX, these semi-finalists will discover the magic of moviemaking when they are brought to Los Angeles to visit a real-life film set for the first time and must endure a rigorous ""Hollywood Boot Camp.""
A special panel of judges, including actress/author Carrie Fisher (""Star Wars,"" ""Postcards From the Edge"") and director/producers Brett Ratner (""Rush Hour 3""), Garry Marshall (""Georgia Rule"") and Jon Avnet (Fried Green Tomatoes,"" ""Risky Business""), will begin the process by screening the contestants' personal submission films and evaluating their attempts at a Hollywood-style ""pitch"" meeting.
Other projects include a ""24-Hour Film Shoot,"" where the contestants must shoot and edit a short film in a 24-hour period; and a ""one-page, one-hour"" film shoot, where they will have an hour to film a one-page scene with the help of professional directors of photography, camera and sound operators and actors.
After the judges give their ultimate feedback, some Finalists will move on and some will continue to compete in the first ""Film Premiere"" episode."
