ALEX – Actor 22
“ I have learned more than I can imagine – I really became Simon on set. I just want to do another film right now”
At the end of these 8 weeks you are guaranteed a part in a high end short film written and directed by Benjamin D Johns, who has had his short films viewed in at more than 200 festivals, including Edinburg, Toronto, Venice and Tokyo. He Produced BAFTA nominated “Candy Bar Kid”, Written and Directed Award winning critically acclaimed “Traffic Warden” and “Old Harry” starring Robert Hardy. In 2010 he produced and Directed “A party Political Broadcast by the Poetry Party” starring Hugh Bonneville and recently “Lake Land Falls” which came out of the 1st Actors Film Lab. To see the trailer for this, please visit our website on http://actorsfilmlab.com/?page_id=576
From 2006-2009 Benjamin taught at Staffordshire University on the Award winning BA Hons in Media and Film Production where he was the youngest Senior Lecturer in the faculty. He is currently in postproduction on his feature film “TRIBE” which is a gritty British drama set in the harsh world of gypsies. The film will be released in cinemas in Summer 2012. His next feature, “IN BETWEEN THE WAVES”, a comedic rites of passage road movie from Wales to Morocco is set for summer 2012 production.
Not only will you get training by different industry experts, but you will be actively involved in devising and developing the short film which you will be part of. During your training, your improvisations might become part of the film which Benjamin will then develop and weave into a short film, getting your input before finalising the first draft.
Even though everyone can benefit from further training and development as an actor, we also know that sometimes it’s not about what you learn and know, but who you know. During the first 8 weeks, we are inviting some industry professionals to share their experience with you and watch you develop. These guests include:
• Kelly Valentine Hendry – Casting Director (“Slumdog Millionaire”, “King Kong”, “Warhorse”, “Iron Clad”, “Killing Bono”)
• Kan Bonfils – Actor (“Starwars”, “The Phantom Menace”, “Batman Begins”, “Sky Captain and the world of Tomorrow”)
• Kathryn Drysdale – Actor (“Vanity Fair”, “St Trinians”, “Two pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps”)
• Nicci Topping – Casting Director (commercials such as “Playstation” and “Hyundai”)
• Jason Maza – Actor (“Fish Tank”, “Shifty”, “Manor Hunt Ball”)
At the 3 day location shoot, you will be working with a leading industry crew who will shoot your high end short film production on RED 4K HD. After the last Actors Film Lab, Nikki Topping was so impressed by the actors that she put some of them up for auditions in the industry straight away.
“ I can honestly say that this is the best thing I have ever done. The workshops were fantastic and now that we have been away on location I can see how well Benjamin prepared us for the shoot. It was amazing” Abigail – Actress “Lake Land Falls”
Due to the fact that you have a guaranteed spot in the short film we will be producing in week 8 and the attention we offer to each individual, we can only accept 20 participants on this course, so please act fast to guarantee your place
