It changed me.

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 and actresses 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?
The M.I.A. is primarily hands-on.
It consists of 6 intensive weekends, all focused on on-camera work.
In each session, every participant films at least one scene, developing cinematic awareness, emotional truth, and technical mastery.
IS THE VIDEO MATERIAL USABLE?
All scenes shot during the MIA 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.
IN WHICH LANGUAGE WILL THE LESSONS BE HELD?
The lessons can be taken in the three languages provided for by the program:
Italian, English and Spanish.
Coach Armando Di Lillo will always be present at every lesson to make the most of the international weekends dedicated to Acting in English and Acting in Spanish
