Method Acting Intensive -- Becoming the Character
Two-hour session. We don't rehearse lines -- we build a life. Where did your character grow up? What does their kitchen smell like? What song makes them cry? Once you know that, the lines say themselves. Stella Adler's approach: imagination over memory. Tip: If you're thinking about acting, you're not acting.

Samurai Screen Combat Workshop -- The Way of the Blade
Katana work for film. Proper draw, strike, and resheath. We use bokken (wooden swords) first, then move to iaito (blunt steel). I'll teach you the difference between real kenjutsu and what looks good on camera. Kurosawa insisted on realism -- the audience can feel a fake swing. Tip: Speed comes from relaxation, not tension.
Cinematography Masterclass -- Light Is Everything
Barry Lyndon was lit entirely by candlelight using a NASA lens. The Shining used Steadicam before anyone knew what Steadicam was. 2001 invented front-projection on a scale nobody had attempted. We study how to light a scene so it tells the story before anyone speaks. Tip: Natural light is almost always better than artificial. Learn to see it first.
