EFX Launches the Workshops on Acting and Scriptwriting March 29

Acting Coaching (For Actors)

So what is an Acting Coach? You’ll probably find as many definitions as there are coaches, many complicated and even contradictory. Our expert will cut through the confusion and explain how acting coaches work and what they can offer to help Directors get the best out of their actors.


In this session, you’ll be taken through three important areas. First, how to efficiently prepare yourself to face the camera in today’s fast-paced productions; secondly, what real acting ‘presence’ is and how to access and develop your personal potential and finally, how to respond to the requirements of the role with total freedom, bypassing your fears and accessing your emotions to thrill audiences.

Most importantly, our experts will show you how to get in touch with yourself – the artistic, creative and sensitive self – and work with others involved in the production of a film. It will be exciting, flexible and fun…and it could be the most important step you ever take towards becoming the actor you dream of being!

Acting Coaching (For Directors)

So what is an Acting Coach? You’ll probably find as many definitions as there are coaches, many complicated and even contradictory. Our expert will cut through the confusion and explain how acting coaches work and what they can offer to help Directors get the best out of their actors. Far from taking over your role as Director, the Acting Coach assists by helping to prepare the actors and build their confidence before filming begins, and to work as a liaison between actors and Directors so that the expectations and requirements are not only clearly understood, but met or exceeded when the actor gets in front of the camera. In this workshop, we’ll explore what really goes on between actors and directors, the tools great coaches use to effectively improve acting performance, and how to avoid costly and time-consuming problems on set. The skills and insights you’ll gain from this session could transform your next film production, so don’t miss out!

Scriptwriting Session

Led by Henri Debidour and with special guest Marc Esposito, you will take an in-depth look at the art of scriptwriting with a focus on developing and consolidating ideas, storyline and characters arc.
You’ll be treated to a special screening of Dreamers, a documentary on scriptwriting by Noelle Deschamps, followed by a lively debate with your peers. This highly-regarded film, which itself was selected at the Venice Biennale, explores the mystery behind the birth of a film and the ideas of the masters, including Guillermo Ariaga, Jacques Audiard, James Gray, Emir Kusturica and Jaco von Doarmel.
You’ll get up close and personal with Marc Esposito, discussing his writing methodology, strategic approach and artistic choices, and sharing his experiences in everything from scriptwriting and journalism, to directing All the Beauty of the World shot in Bali.
Attend a lecture on Building Story & Character in French Films and participate in a workshop session centered around your chosen project, where you can pitch your story and work with our expert on refining the storyline and arc of the characters.
