Pilot season is that time of year when the networks commission a sample, a pilot, of a proposed television show that will give the networks a better idea if they should order up a full season of them - a series. One acting program for kids and teens helps prepare its students for this annual event, the Academy of Cinema and Television.

In Hollywood, January is the month that new scripts start flooding in and the studios start deciding what they’re going to shoot for pilots. Everyone is hoping they have the right formula for the next hit series in the next Fall lineup.

There are four months (Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr) of frantic decision making, focus-grouping, rewriting, and–most importantly for the new young actor–casting. What this means for young actors is simple: pilot season is the best time of the year to be discovered and cast.

Because pilots may take months to develop, casting becomes a primary concern during the actual pilot-making process. The first quarter of the year is often the busiest and most beneficial time for actors, agents, and casting directors. This time of year brings children, teens and parents from far and wide to Hollywood for a chance to land an agent and/or role.

Many students at the Academy of Cinema and Television are already making plans to travel to LA right after Christmas. Most of these students already have personal managers and talent agency representation, so as soon as they arrive in town they can be sent on auditions.

These students have a better than average chance of success, because knowing how the industry works, being placed in front of industry professionals on a regular basis and training from excellent instructors can make all the difference in the world of show biz. These kids and their parents are well prepared for the task, no matter which campus they come from.

There is nothing easy about breaking into Hollywood, but it can be done, and the pilot season of 2009 will once again produce at least one or two new faces that American audiences will embrace. The Academy of Cinema and Television is sure that more than a few of their students will be up to the challenge.
