1-Year Acting for Film Program
The One-Year Acting Conservatory runs on an eight-month calendar, divided into two sixteen-week semesters. Each of the sixteen-week semesters requires intensive time demands and a complete commitment on the part of the student.
A standard week of study involves additional time in the evenings and on weekends for classes, rehearsals, and shoots.
WHAT MAKES OUR ACTING PROGRAMS UNIQUE?
PRACTICAL HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE
The best way to learn how to act in films is to actually act in films. Our students begin acting in front of the camera from the first week of the program. Every week, students get the opportunity to practice the techniques and skills they have gained in class with exercises that are shot and reviewed.
PROFESSIONAL FACULTY
Our instructors are working veterans of Hollywood and independent film, Broadway and Off-Broadway.
FILM PRODUCTIONS
Many of our programs feature the production of short films or scenes that are created by and star our acting students. These are shot and edited together and may be used for students' own reels.
FILMMAKING RESOURCES
Our Acting for Film and Filmmaking programs work hand-in-hand, providing all of our students with resources such as film equipment, live film shoots, and a network of filmmakers, screenwriters, producers, and editors that is developed before entering the real world.
REEL MATERIALS
We provide all of our students with shot and edited materials that are suitable to put on an actor's reel.
