Hot Set is an American reality television game show that airs on the Syfy cable network. The series features a group of production artists competing against each other to create movie sets. Ben Mankiewicz hosts the show, and the judging panel consists of Curt Beech, Lilly Kilvert, and Barry Robison. Each week, the artists are tasked with building a "hot set" over the course of three days, using a budget of $15,000. The first two days are dedicated to concept design and construction, followed by a third day of filming and judging. During the judging day, the panel evaluates the sets from both a distance and up close. One artist is ultimately declared the winner and awarded a cash prize of $10,000.

Did you or a loved one work on Hot Set?
Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
