APPLY NOW

Applications due by Friday, November 20

For actors who want to strengthen their craft, build confidence, and understand what it really takes to work in television and film.

This isn’t a lecture series. It’s eight weeks working with us in a small group, where you can ask questions, explore your choices, get feedback, and learn alongside other actors.

What’s Included

  • Eight weekly 90–120-minute Zoom sessions with Andi and Doug — some with invited special guests
  • One private 45–60-minute session with both directors, focused on your individual goals and challenges
  • Scene and self-tape work — discussion, feedback, and the chance to try different approaches
  • Practical conversations about auditions, self-tapes, scene work, working on set, collaborating with directors, and navigating the business
  • A small group so everyone participates and gets individual attention

We’ll have a planned curriculum, but we’ll also respond to the questions, challenges, and goals of the actors in the room.

Participation is by application.

Because we’re keeping the group small, every actor goes through the same application process. You’ll tell us about yourself and submit a short self-tape.
