Want to act? Don't just rehearse, star in a film. In the GIFTS acting course you'll spend a week devoted entirely to acting on camera. Working in a small group of four actors, you'll get a step by step experience of the film actor's world. The first part of the week will be dedicated to the actor's inner world: learn about your hit, do auditions, cold reads, script analysis, objectives, obstacles, character history and circumstances. Then really do it; take the work on location and star in a GIFTS video written and directed specifically for you. Learn about on-set etiquette, blocking, hitting your mark, close-ups and reverse-shots. You'll walk away with more than a demo-tape. You'll walk away having done the real thing.
