Are you considering getting into the film biz as a producer? If your answer is yes, then you’re probably crazy. But if you’re OK with that assessment, you might want to check out the upcoming Pre-Production Management for Television & Digital Media class from Film Apprenticeship Programs Inc. The class meets February 20, 21, 27 and 28—that’s Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Class fee is a none-too-cheap $450, but you’re gonna be a producer, so what do you care? Class will take place at Spirit Productions in Santa Fe. John Muir, educator and owner of The Muir Studio, will lead this four-day seminar. After successfully completing all four sessions and projects, each student should have acquired “a basic understanding of script breakdown, budget development and the use of selected industry tools.” For information, log on to filmapprentice.org.

“Cast of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: Where Are They Now?” (TV Guide 7 p.m.) Sitting in their one-bedroom walkups in North Hollywood and quietly seething with jealousy over Will Smith’s career, I’m guessing. ... Just kidding. In 2003, Alfonso Ribeiro appeared in a commercial for McDonald’s McGriddle breakfast sandwiches. So, you know, it’s all good.

“HowStuffWorks” (Discovery 7 p.m.) Tonight’s topic: beer. Not much of a mystery there, really. You drink it, you get drunk, you say inappropriate things to people of the opposite sex who are clearly outside of your league and then it’s nap time.
