This is a very practical and important seminar where information is relayed in an engaging and entertaining manner. Kenny has an excellent understanding of public speaking and teaching so his students can absorb the information. He provides a good mix of practical information and entertaining real life stories. In addition, the real life stories pertain to the material being taught. He is very knowledgeable about his work and is able to relay that information effectively to all students regardless of their interests or backgrounds. I especially appreciate his skill at learning student’s names.

Hi Kenny,
Today was life changing for me and I really have finalized what I want to do with my life with your amazing seminar today. Thank you so much. I am available 24/7 7 days a week to do any PA work. Anytime that you near St. Louis and need anything- from freelance work- to a possible PA position I'm your guy, really. Thank you so much.

One month after talking the P.A.T.S. seminar, I found myself on the set of a multi-million-dollar movie set as a paid Production Assistant. The job came to me because of being on Kenny Chaplin's list of P.A.T.S. graduates. I was able to fit in quickly on the set entirely because of what I learned at the seminar. 
Although I didn't know anyone on set, I walked into base camp and was able to figure things out immediately from the seminar descriptions. Knowing set etiquette made me feel comfortable. Within minutes I had a walkie and knew how to use it. I knew who was my boss on set and what her job was and how best to help her. The lingo that Kenny taught at the seminar was 100% up-to-date; when listening on the walkie, I understood what everyone was saying. Without the seminar, I would have felt lost, but because of it, I was able to be useful right away, and now I would feel confident walking onto any set in the position of PA.

"it was more informative and made the realm of filmmaking more approachable... I feel more prepared to step on to a set"

"I would like to thank Kenny Chaplin for teaching the seminar this past Sunday in Cedar Rapids. I would also like to thank him for taking time afterwards to talk to me about the DGA ADTP exam that I will be taking this coming weekend in NYC. I appreciate his insight and support as this is something I am most passionate about and determined to make happen. Thanks again and the best of luck to P.A.T.S.!"

"I just completed the P.A.T.S. training in Cedar Rapids. it was wonderful. I had no idea all of those job opportunities existed within the movie business."

Kimberly Woods - Cedar Rapids, IA - February 15, 2009

"The PA training course delivered much more than I expected. It was great. I really felt like I got to go inside a movie set and learn exactly how it worked. Kenny made it fun and interesting to learn. The depth and breadth of knowledge presented was amazing.
If you are interested in learning about how a movie set works, take this training."

"I think this would be a great opportunity and experience for a young aspiring actor."

Hey P.A.T.S.,

"Thanks a bunch! Adding the P.A.T.S. seminar to my resume warrented hiring me for a day on the film "The Crazies." I got hired as a daily PA on Tuesday, and I guess I made a good impression because they want me back for Friday and Saturday..."

Kenny definitely made this course fun and worthwhile. I really enjoyed myself, as there was not one dull moment. He shared real experiences and these made him and the material really easy to relate to. I definitely recommend this class to anyone who is interested in the industry and wants to learn more about how to get into the business.

I’ve spent 20 years in the coalmines of the production world wearing all the hats, including Director. This opened up the world of Feature films in a practical hands-on way, such as I’d never been privy to. I enjoyed Kenny’s brilliant digestion and delivery of vast experience and information.

This class is a must for anyone who is interested in getting into the film industry. Mr. Chaplin’s course is informative, practical, and fun.

Shawn Champion – Savannah, Georgia May 2010

It’s a very good seminar providing valuable first hand information from an industry professional. Kenny is not spewing stereotypical textbook information nor does he ‘talk Hollywood’. He is very approachable, believable, and understanding. This information will make you an unforgettable Production Assistant.

Blanche Cadelina – Savannah, Georgia May 2010

After taking this seminar, I’m eager and confident in my skills. I can’t wait to start working.

Clark Hummell – Savannah, Georgia May 2010

At first I was nervous, not knowing what to expect, but Kenny, Lisa, and Meredith made the whole seminar comfortable, fun filled, and extremely informative. I wished it lasted more than a day!

Sherry Spencer – Savannah, Georgia May 2010

This was the most informative and entertaining class I have ever taken. Every minute was well worth it. Mr. Chaplin is an excellent speaker and very entertaining. I’m excited and looking forward to working in the film industry.
