TESTIMONIAL
“I met Colin during the 40 week course at TAFTA and I would consider him not just one of the directors we were able to learn from, but a mentor well past my time at TAFTA.
Colin lets you find your way as an actor and that’s something I truly appreciate not just as an actor, but also as a director which is something I’m exploring now.
I have been cast by and worked with Colin outside of Class and again he allowed me the freedom to really create and embody the character the way she naturally came to me.
I wouldn’t think twice about doing more classes with Colin or Sending through Things I’m working on for some honest feedback (which he’s not shy about giving and that’s why I appreciate him so much!).
If you’re an actor or aspiring director and you’re on the fence about doing the class or not - Jump in! The discovery and learning from script to camera work is incredible and he also just happens to be a really brilliant human!”
Anna.
