Sherwood Oaks Film School/Meet Hollywood Execs
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Imagine walking down the red carpet and shaking hands with Clint Eastwood or Quentin Tarantino. Getting the opportunity to drive to a studio lot and have your name at the gate and then walk into a meeting room on the studio lot. Then, imagine meeting with Oscar winning producers and big budget directors on what it takes to succeed in Hollywood. Seems impossible? But Sherwood Oaks Film School has been doing it for over 40 years.

Sherwood Oaks Film School provides 2 to 3 day intensive seminars. Alumni Derrick said, "A Sherwood Oaks seminar is like taking a full semester of UCLA Film School in two days. Plus, Classes have limited enrollment so I received personal attention."
Sherwood Oaks students' ages range from 25 to 75. Many students have full-time jobs from teachers to attorneys. These moonlights hone their screenwriting craft in the wee hours of the morning before their "real job." Their real world experience often translates into compelling stories.
Makes us all want to play hooky and join them … this Monday and Tuesday, September 21 to 22 in Hollywood. The upcoming seminar has 14 speakers from Oscar nominated writers to managers to big budget producers.
Some of us want to join Hollywood for their Emmy's celebration on Sunday and be part of this insightful seminar the next day. But those who are planners, Sherwood Oaks have seminars next year beginning April 11-12, 2016.
And for the more serious moonlighting screenwriters, the May 19 to 20, 2016 seminar focuses on finding representation. Yes, you can meet over 10 Hollywood agents/managers and not all of them are like the famous agent, Ari Gold from Entourage. Sherwood Oaks gets the biggest names including William Morris, CAA, ICM as well as those who are hungry managers looking for fresh, new talent.
Check out their latest videos and don't let the organic feel of their website fool you. This Non-Profit School has been around since 1971 and started before almost any film school. Their smaller classes provide a lot of personal attention to increase your chance of success. It worked for such heavy weights and Oscar winners including James Cameron (Avatar), Sylvester Stallone (Rocky filmed while attending Sherwood Oaks), Nancy Myers (It's Complicated), Paul Haggis (Million Dollar Baby, Crash) and Matt Groening (Simpsons), who all took classes at Sherwood Oaks before they were famous.
Who is up to playing hooky with me?
