Hi, I originally asked this on the directing subreddit, but I was wondering, as actors, what do you think could improve film rehearsals? I’ve recently been listening to and reading a lot of interviews with theatre actors. They all seem to love the rehearsal process for theatre which lasts two months and allows them to…

Hello all, I’ll keep it short and straightforward. There’s a director that I met and would love to work with, he has a couple of features on his name but he’s quite indie and tackling themes and ideas that I resonate with. We’ve already spoken and told each other we’ll work together one day. Right now he’s editing one…

I have a semi alternative appearance and I sometimes change my look in different ways(removing or adding piercings, slightly different hair, etc.).

I recently got accepted into this program as a fairly new actor with little experience (I’ve done some short film and community theatre work, and I’ve never studied acting formally) - it’s quite expensive, and it doesn’t provide a degree, but it does provide a certificate.
