Screen Acting for a Living

The Screen Acting for a Living class offers the film director the extended opportunity to learn the film acting craft through classroom scene work applied to screenplays and great dramatic texts. Many of the great dramas used in this class began on the stage and became great films. So much of todays film and television is so colloquial and lacking in the textual and sub-textual depth needed to ground the developing filmmakers. This class teaches fundamental analysis and application of that analysis in a truthful manner onscreen
