Set the Scene – Inside a Grip Truck

Step up to a real grip truck and explore the tools film crews use to shape light, build scenes, and make movie magic happen.

Ever wonder what those big trucks are doing on a film set? What are all this big stands and flags used for when shooting? Why do they call that guy a “Best Boy” in the credits? Come explore a professional film equipment truck as we set up for our big opening night! From C-stands to flags to sandbags, learn how these pieces come together to support lighting, camera, and electrical departments. Whether you’re a film enthusiast or just curious about movie-making logistics, this is your backstage pass to the unseen world behind the scenes.

This program will be presented by Kris Katrosh of New Harvest Productions, and is offered in partnership with the Fayetteville Film Fest, celebrating filmmaking, storytelling, and community across Northwest Arkansas.
