Showreel Scene Masterclass
This masterclass is designed for actors who are pursuing a career in film/tv or preparing to do so.
​
At the end of the workshop, each actor will receive a professionally edited copy of their scene for their showreel!
How does it work?
​
Each day is an intense deep dive into each significant step of the process an actor takes, from the work you do immediately after receiving the material, to your work on set.
You will meet your director and writer weeks prior to the masterclass, who upon getting to know you, will pair you up with a scene partner and write an original scene specifically for you both! These are the scenes you’ll be working on for the duration of the Masterclass.
Then, you'll spend 1 full weekend exploring and workshopping your scene with your acting coach (Leigh). Here you will have a blast enhancing your acting skills, and developing new ones.
​
Weekend 2... You will be filming your scene with Bill Hughes, one of Australia’s most experienced and innovative filmmakers.
