The ACSF is a professional studio dedicated to the art of dramatic acting. We seek to uphold world class standards of dramatic acting in film and theater.

We offer serious training in dramatic acting to beginners and provide A-List coaching to working actors, writers, directors and film makers looking to strengthen their voice.

We are a bridge for non-actors and business professionals who love film and theater and want to experiment with the art of acting in order to improve their communication skills and emotional awareness.

We believe that stories focused on truth, beauty and the search for meaning are in high demand and have a wide international audience. Our hope is to inspire the next wave of professional film and theater artists to understand the ancient soul of the actor's art in order to restore the earth and heal the human spirit. S.M.

"Artists and poets are the raw nerve ends of humanity. By themselves they can do little to save humanity. Without them there would be little worth saving."
