Testimonial
“I want to thank you again for your time and attention on the weekend. I am particularly grateful that, after I asked you to push me, that you did. I am at the stage with my career that I will not settle for anything less than my best (at the time) and it was extremely beneficial that you realised that. It was also great to have the opportunity to work with Sam so that I could experience different directing styles (although, as you said, your styles are quiet similar). The workshop has helped me to develop more confidence in film acting and your supportive, detailed and constructive approach was just what I needed.
Also, it was lovely to talk to someone who is (still) so passionate about their art and the future of the industry. There are lots of very jaded people I’ve met in recent years, I like that you are so proactive.”
“I just want to say THANK YOU for being you! I had a really good time at the workshop and felt that your relaxed, open and directive approach worked well with me. I also enjoyed getting to know the other inspiring actors and their views and experiences in the industry. I have come home totally pumped and spent most of my free time researching and applying for roles. I can now see my vision a lot clearer and I’m determined to continue this path until I have reached my desired outcome. So thank you again, and I hope that sometime in the future I will get the opportunity to work with you.”
