Shortfilm August 2026

Short Film Workshop Experience

A fully immersive training opportunity that goes far beyond the classroom.

This is not just an acting workshop.

This is your opportunity to train, rehearse, film, produce, and submit a professionally created short film to the festival circuit.

We will be producing a cinematic short film (under 20 minutes to meet most festival requirements) that will be submitted to at least three film festivals.

Participants will:
✅ Receive an IMDb credit as an Actor
✅ Recieve an IMDB credit as an Associate Producer
✅ Work on a professionally run film set
✅ Gain real-world on-set experience
✅ Walk away with a finished, festival-submitted project for their portfolio

This experience is designed to help actors understand the entire filmmaking process while integrating John’s coaching into an actual production environment.
