Class Description

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.

Class Description
This dynamic 12-week online improvisation class is designed to help actors become more confident, adaptable, emotionally available, and fully present in front of the camera.

Throughout the course, students will participate in a wide range of exercises including scene work, partner exercises, cold reads, improvisation techniques, on-camera adjustments, and industry-style audition scenarios designed to strengthen confidence and performance flexibility.

This class is ideal for actors of all experience levels who want to improve their self-tapes, become stronger during redirects and chemistry reads, and develop the confidence to stay grounded and responsive in unpredictable on-set situations.

💡 Final Industry Showcase – Actors will present their most polished scene in a live performance or virtual industry showcase for agents, casting directors, producers, and industry guests.
