Academy sessions are best for actors with at least intermediate experience or who’ve taken an intro class or been on a real set previously. All new academy actors must audition for placement. Each academy session focuses on coaching actors and  bringing original characters to life in film and TV. We write original scripts for our registered academy actors. The sessions are taught by working directors so actors learn practical techniques, set etiquette and get real life film experience, that results in a full short film (footage for reels) and a red carpet experience–all our films are screened at our BraveMaker Film Fest in July. 

A of February 2026 we have acting technique/scene study and character development classes on Mondays 6:30pm-9:30pm in person, Redwood City Ca with Soma Mitra.

Watch below for our Academy Behind the Scenes videos and you can also see all of the films we have made in our Academy classes.
