Courses – The Actor’s Launchpad

This is an absolute game-changer for actors, offering a truly unique and fresh perspective. Supported by one of the most influential organisations in indie film, it’s the go-to destination for any actor seeking invaluable insights and a competitive edge in the industry

Courses:

This is a course that is broken down into two distinct parts. The first is a free-to-attend day at Pinewood Studios where the attendees are given a tour of the studio and an introduction to the insights and opportunities Lift-Off has identified over the years that actors need to know. At the end of the informative and constructive free workshop, Lift-Off introduces the 2nd part of the course which is called “The Actor’s Launchpad” – attendees of the free workshop are under no obligation whatsoever to enroll but it is one of the main features of the day.


Lift-Off course participants Cole Danai Smith and Albany Maddison

Unveiling a transformative journey for actors, revolutionising the way we approach the craft – these courses are designed to help actors navigate the film industry from the ground up.

Knowledge Beyond Performing. We can teach you about the fundamentals of the indie film landscape and how actors can use this knowledge to meet more filmmakers and get cast more often in independent cinema, which is the doorway to bigger and better work.

Courses range from beginners’ acting courses and castability workshops to in-depth, content-rich, 12-month programmes.

Courses are updated weekly with limited numbers and spaces are given on a first-come first-served basis…
