M.I.A. is a gift that must be given to oneself.
It's truly a gift.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Course designed for actors with a basic training
and little time during the week.
Also ideal for those who want to access Italian or foreign academies
or prepare for the audiovisual market.
ARE THE LESSONS THEORETICAL?
M.I.A. is primarily hands-on. 6 intensive weekends, all with work in front of the camera. At least one scene per person is shot in each session, to develop awareness of the cinematic medium, emotional truth, and technical mastery.
ARE THE VIDEOS USABLE?
All scenes shot during the M.I.A. will be delivered
in high quality and already post-produced (audio and video included).
At the end of the course you will be able to use them for your showreel and online promotion.
