Amazing on-set professional experience

Led by our amazing Acting for Screen teachers, students not only learn the basics of screen acting and how to interact with a camera, but also get first-hand experience with filming, storyboarding, lighting, costuming, location scouting and more! Unlike other screen courses, students are involved in both the performance and production, giving them two impressive skill sets.

Kind words

When I started doing drama my favourite part was always being on camera. I’m so happy there’s a program now where we get to do that every week & challenge ourselves to create original content.
