Have you dreamt of working in film?
Our "Set Ready" foundation course provides you with practical real world knowledge of how a professional film and TV production with 80+ crew members operates.
We teach all the things that a film school doesn't. Do you know what an Exhibit G is? Do you know all the walkie lingo? Do you know how to fill out start paperwork? Did you get coached on how to get your first job and build your career? We cover all of this and more. It doesn't matter if you've just graduated film school or have zero experience in film. We will teach you everything you need to know so you can get your first job and start earning a living!
Hundred's of Oklahoman's have taken this course and ended up working on major motion pictures such as Killer's of The Flower Moon, Tulsa King, and Twisters (which is currently filming in OKC).
Oklahoma is quickly becoming a go-to filmmaking destination and all those productions need crew. This is your chance.
Our classes are all taught at Filmmakers Ranch Studio in NE Oklahoma City, a 12-acre 50,000 sqft facility that is currently the home to a 10 week TV series employing over 200 Oklahomans. We also offer a money back guarantee so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

HERE'S WHAT PAST STUDENTS FROM OTHER COURSES WE OFFER HAD TO SAY:
Meet Sunny
Sunny thought he knew what he wanted to do for his career and spent 4 years studying to be a forensic detective. After three years on the job he realized this wasn't what we wanted to spend his life doing. He'd always loved films so signed up to SET READY™. Within a month of graduation he found a gig on a LionsGate movie. This was quickly followed by 8 months on a new Apple+ show starring Robert De Niro.
Meet LaRisa
LaRissa had studied film and media at college but it didn't prepare her for how to find regular professional jobs in the industry or what was really needed for a PA. LaRissa got a job offer so quickly after graduation that she wasn't able to provide notice on her regular job so had to pass on the opportunity. Two weeks later she got her next job offer and this time she was ready to jump in. Eighteen months later and she's been working regularly ever since.
Meet Perrin
After 20 years service in the Air Force, (R)TSgt Perrin Smith was looking for a new challenge in his life where he could apply his military discipline and achieve the objective at all costs mentality together with working in the same industry as his actress wife. He graduated SET READY™ two years ago and already has 22 movie and TV show credits to his name having worked across the US.
Meet Brea
Two weeks after completing SET READY™, Brea was already on her first feature film. It was a five week shoot on a project called Fancy Dance in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Working in the art department, Brea was able to reference her workbook daily and the feedback from the UPM was that she rocked it. Way to go Brea! Feel free to ask her any questions in the Facebook Group when you sign up.
Meet Courtney
Courtney moved to Los Angeles straight after college trying to get her break in the film industry. She had short stints temping for Will Smith's production company and a few others but nothing stuck. So after a year she returned home, gave up on the dream, and spent ten years working for corporate America. Then she signed up to SET READY™ and has been working on major shows ever since.
