🎥 What really happens behind the camera?

Everyone knows Hollywood—but what happens when the cameras aren't even rolling yet?

Melissa Millett takes you behind the scenes of various film and television productions, giving you an exclusive look into the world of animal actors, animal trainers, and film sets.

You'll hear firsthand how dogs and other animals are prepared for their roles and what it takes when an animal suddenly has to perform in front of a large film crew.

🐾 Fascinating. Authentic. Surprising. And as close to the real-life set experience as it gets.

🐕 So, how does a dog actually become a film dog?

Melissa will show you how animals are prepared for their roles, which training steps are involved, and why even a seemingly effortless few seconds on screen can require a tremendous amount of preparation.

But what happens when things suddenly don't go according to plan?

⏱️ The schedule is tight.
🎬 The camera is waiting.
🐶 And the dog is having a bad day.

How does a professional team handle situations like these?
