Lights, Camera, Action!

From the classroom to the big screen

Let's take a journey through the amazing success stories of students from the Film Actors Cafe! These talented individuals took the skills they learned here and used them to kickstart their careers in the film industry. 

Ashanna Andrews

Bay Area native and former student Ashanna Andrews was recently cast to play Rose Morning in the pilot "In the Midst of T.H.E.M."

"I worked under the guidance of Aeron MacIntyre at Film Actors Cafe. I learned how to be present and really listen to my scene partner. In addition to taking film acting classes under Aeron, I returned to him as a resource for help with auditions, monologues and one-on-one coaching. If I was struggling with something, I'd call him and after a single session, I'd enhance my perspective and performance. I am greatful for his patience, wealth of knowledge and the safe space that he always creates for me to work."
