I booked a role on Christie’s latest project that begins filming in Kelowna next week! That would never have happened if I hadn’t done your workshop with her, so thank you!!!

I used the scene from Martin Wood’s director workshop in my demo reel, and it played a big role in my first agent search. My reel got great responses from multiple agents, and I just signed with a fantastic team this week! Thanks a lot for your coaching in getting my scene ready for the shooting day. I’m very grateful to have been a part of the workshop!
