The Experience
During the allotted time, your syndicate will be armed with a camera, a portable lighting rig, a selection of sound effects , a Director’s Chair, a clapperboard – in fact everything necessary to make an on-location, ‘no-expense spared’ epic-proportioned movie.
Once all your films are ‘in the can’ they will combine to offer you a truly memorable film premiere!
The Oscar Award Ceremony will of course give you a chance to thank your Mother, your Dog, your Mentors and ‘Uncle Tom Cobbly and All’ for their amazing support and understanding as you rose to these giddy heights. So roll the credits and enjoy.
