Have you been dreaming of improving your on-camera skills for a long time? As part of the educational program of the Pacific Meridian Festival, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the profession of a film actor. A workshop from Anna Gusarova, a co-curator of the Film Actor program at the Moscow Film School, and Ilya Lokshin, a teacher of Photography, will expand the boundaries of your creative personality, and you will gain skills that will help you in your future acting on camera. During the workshop, you will learn in practice how work on the set is organized, how to prepare for casting and auditions, how an actor should work with film documents (scheduling plan, call sheets, storyboards), learn about the nuances of working in a frame at different sizes, and also will shoot your video presentation.
