Step into the World of Acting

5-Day Film Acting Camp

Our Film Acting Classes will put you in front of the camera, help you gain confidence, and give you a chance to thrive and grow creatively.

If you’ve ever pictured yourself on the big screen, this class is for you. Learn and build upon the foundations of acting for the big screen! Express your unique voice in front of the camera by working with others in scripted scenes, developing a character through monologues, and building teamwork through improvisation, all while learning the core techniques for working on a film set. Thrive and grow whether you’re an experienced actor or a beginner in a creative, grace-filled environment.

Class size limited to 15 students.

A link with camera work will be emailed two-weeks after the class ends. 

Your student will learn to:

  • Work on-camera and understand film language
  • Connect with others through improv, games, and scene work
  • Build confidence, express emotion, and create honest, natural characters
  • Memorize and perform a short monologue of their choice on-camera at the end of the week
