"The Hollywood Field Trip is essential for anyone who's serious about breaking into the film business in L.A. The contacts, knowledge and experience crammed into a week is worth its weight in platinum. Coming from the UK I had no idea what to expect in LA or how the business worked over there. The Field Trip gave me the chance to pitch ideas to people working in the industry to see their very different approach to scripts and genre, and to get a fantastic working knowledge of the business. It was also an incredible opportunity to make contacts, and Gen and Zee's knowledge and experience is second to none." 

Jonathan Turner, screenwriter

"Getting your foot through the door is half the battle, and we all had two feet placed well inside some of the top industry offices. Our hosts were very hospitable and helpful, and stretched beyond duty, involving themselves with our work. This is the place where business gets done, not talked about, and this is the road in."

Susan Douglas, Producer

I would thoroughly recommend the Hollywood Field Trip to any Brits who are wanting to kickstart their careers in LA - the trip is an intensive week of meetings with industry professionals who offer great advice on working in LA, as well as feedback on your own projects.  The whole week has left me energized about starting my career in LA, it makes you want to move over here straight away! Overall it's an insightful, invaluable trip that you don't want to miss out on!

Mark Jeavons, filmmaker

"I wish I had had something like this when I decided to come to L.A. Half the battle is meeting the right people in the industry and understanding the business from the inside out. It took me years to do this on my own. This opportunity would have made my journey so much easier!"

Louise Runge, Producer

"I'm looking forward to meeting British filmmakers. It's becoming less about Hollywood and more about the world - its about reaching out and telling stories on a global level."
