Acting for film and television makes some unique demands on the actor. For instance, so much of the story is told with the eyes, there are myriad physical demands such as "cheating a look," and the story is shot out of sequence. The ideal method for acquiring the skills particular to film and television acting is plenty of experience in front of the camera. Because we understand the demands of the industry and recognize the solution, we tailor our acting classes accordingly.

We offer ongoing On-Camera Classes, and we direct all class critiques to camera-friendly performances. We provide a training ground for serious film and television actors. Because we know nothing beats practical experience, we encourage our actors to produce short films and experience hands-on film making. When our actors produce their short films, The Studio sponsors and hosts film festivals to celebrate the work.

Our actor/producers finance their three-to-six minute films and have complete autonomy over their work. They cast both from within and outside The Studio. Some individuals function as writer/producer/director/principal director of photography/and editor. Others collaborate with technical talent from outside the group and participate only as producer and actor. The various combinations produce a potent mix of vision and talent.

Congratulations to the members of The Studio who, with the support of their collaborators, produced the sixteen short films premiered at the 2003 Fall Film Festival.

All the films are entered in the festival by an Active Studio Member.
