Here is your chance to see yourself on the big screen! An intensive on-camera workshop to prepare the teen actor for working on a film or television set. Students will concentrate on the development of acting skills through working on a film based on 12 ANGRY MEN, a 1957 film directed by Sidney Lumet. Our modern adaptation, of this film, will allow each student to be cast in a substantial role. This class will guide the student, step by step, from the audition process, through preparation and rehearsal to actually filming on a set. In addition, students will also learn industry etiquette and terminology. Students, friends and family members are invited to attend the WRAP PARTY and SCREENING of the film at theGateway Film Center. Students will receive a DVD of the film. The Student's film will also be screened for regional Casting Directors, Agents and Filmmakers.

Saturdays, beginning September 24 - November 12, 2011 10:00am -12:00pm $175

This on-camera intensive is designed to enable the actor to handle commercial auditions, film and TV sides, scenes, and monologues for film. Working with the camera, actors will break down scenes to discover the humor, emotional moments, pacing, beats and more. The class will also explore the fundamentals of film and commercial auditioning, including slating and how to interview effectively, while exploring the entire audition scenario. The class will focus on strengthening performances and working with confidence in front of the camera during cold readings as well as prepared sides.

All exercises and scenes are video-taped with playback critiques an essential part of class time. All students will receive a DVD DEMO REEL of their work at the conclusion of this workshop.

Friends and family members are invited to attend the WRAP PARTY on Saturday November 5, 2011 12:00pm for the screening of Student's DEMO REELS.
