Commonly asked Questions:

Q: How will I get through all the courses in one day?

A: You won’t, that is why we have broken this workshop down to a 2-day weekend.

 

Q: I’m not really interested in every facet you offer, but I want to come anyways.  Am I required to go through every class?

A: Good question, the answer is absolutely not.  While we offer lots of personal attention, we are here to help you focus on the basics of your passion, be it horse stunts, fighting, or weapons handling.

 

 

 

Q: What do I need to bring?

A: This will be a camp type setting, on a real working film set.  Bring your own tent and bedding.  Facilities will be on site.  There is no electricity, except through generators, which we will not be able to run all night.  There is one hotel in Dripping Springs, a short drive from the set, if you would like to stay there.  There are 2 stores about 5 miles from the set on Hamilton Pool road.  One cooks pretty good food, and has a lounge in the back; the other is a very new Convenience store that has pretty much everything.

 

Q:  Are meals included?

A: Yes, they are.  Breakfast will be light continental style, and lunch will be served as well.  Craft service is available all through the day. Supper is on your own. We have a professional caterer on staff for your convenience.

 

Q:  If I have my own pads, like knee and elbow pads, should I bring them?
