It premieres tomorrow night - but what, exactly, is On the Lot? For starters, it's produced by Steven Spielberg. Maybe you've heard of him.

In a reality TV nutshell, aspiring filmmakers show off their talent as they compete to win a development deal with Dreamworks.

Here's how the show will work:

• With the help of celebrity judges, auditions are held to find a group of promising filmmakers.

• The top 50 finalists move on to the semifinals, where they endure a "Hollywood Boot Camp."

• After the boot camp round, 18 finalists are chosen.

• The finalists must produce weekly short films in assigned genres from romance to horror.

• The filmmakers are given the opportunity to work with professional writers, cast, and crew.

• The films are shown on a Film Premiere episode and viewers are given the opportunity to vote for their favorite film.

• The director whose film receives the least number of votes is eliminated.

Sounds promising. As promising as a Laguna Beach-type show set in Nashville? That's hard to say. But we'll be recapping it every week and will let you know.
