Classes
Ready to join the Film Industry world? Here you will find the information needed on
how to take classes at Lyon Productions to become a film actor, crew member, or
producer. Here you'll be trained by real working professionals who actually hire the
type of people we train.
    CLASSES
Are you ready to kick open the door of opportunity and walk through to your new career in
the Film Industry? If so, then Lyon Productions offers just the training you need. We offer
both Acting and Production classes as well as a producer training program.

The best part is we are a Production Company, not a "school" whose main source of
income involves profiting from your tuition. Instead, it is our goal train you to help us
develop a local crew and acting pool to hire from.

As a Production Company, it is our job to cut budget costs while creating the best product
possible. As such, often we are forced to go out of state to hire film crew and actors due to
Michigan's currently limited infrastructure of crew and acting talent. Thus, we benefit first
hand by making you prepared to work in the industry. We don't just train you to collect your
money, we want to help you reach your full potential so WE CAN HIRE YOU! This saves us
lodging and travel costs; so it is in our best interest to help you make your mark in the
movies!

Classes are held at the Lyon Productions Headquarters at G 3490 Miller Road Suite 15.
The nearly 3,000 square foot facility features two classrooms, lounge, board room, dinning
area with kitchenette, reception area, as well as offices.
ACTING CLASSES     (CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP)
We offer a three tier acting program that fits everyone in the industry. Our entry level class
is designed to help you become an actor on screen and best hone your skills for such
work. Our second level program is suited to take the developing actor and better prepare
them for auditions as well as life on set. Lastly, the third level class is for advanced
students; offering an open door training policy to help each actor and actress continue to
grow.

The Entry Level Class and the Second Level Program are both 8 week courses that meet
once a week. The class is $289 for the 8 week session. The Advanced Class is a walk in
class that meets once a week and you can drop in any time, $15 per class day. (You must
have completed both courses or get a written approval to participate in the Advance Class.)

By the way, we are so confident in the ability of our program to prepare our students that
we GUARANTEE that any student who completes both courses will be hired to perform in
one of our upcoming films.
PRODUCTION CLASSES     (CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP)
Lyon Productions offers a general film studies class that helps people new to the industry get a firm grasp of the film
production world. You'll learn what all is involved with being on set and the different area(s) of production you can work in.
Following the General Film Studies class, we over a second class that is individualized for your area of interest such as
Directing, Cinema Photography, Production Assistant, Wardrobe/Hair/Makeup, and more.

The General Film Studies Class takes place once a week over 8 weeks. The cost of the class is $375. The department
specific class is $495 and also takes place once a week over 8 weeks.

Once again, we are so confident in the ability of our program to prepare you for film work that we GUARANTEE that any
student who completes both production classes will be hired to work on at least one of our upcoming films.
PRODUCER CLASS
Some people want to work in the industry while others want to make their own films. If you fall into that second category
than we have just the program for you. Lyon Productions offers a producer specific class that teaches you the
fundamentals and tricks of the trade to producing your own feature length movie. We help train you through all of the
steps from script development, casting, principal photography, post production, all the way to getting your film distributed.
This is a program designed for the independent film producer and teaches you how to make a low budget feature film while
still being able to hire union actors. You are required to take the General Film Studies class to participate. Contact us for
further details.
