| Message | Well... what to say that hasn't already been said? More importantly how do I say it so that it sounds cleverer than everyone else? Well, simply put; Graham has the uncanny ability to see through all your fears, attitudes and assumptions towards acting and replace them with a solid structure and framework. One which will inevitably lead you to become a better actor. |

| Message | I have to admit I was slightly nervous taking a class with FVL as I had very little experience in acting but all I can say after just having completed the Camera Active Intensive course is WOW  !It is such a rare opportunity in life to come across truly great teachers, The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires,both Graham and Amy are amazing teachers, they created such a supportive, fun and relaxing environment to learn in and I enjoyed every moment of it from start to finish. Each class is hugely informative and Graham really goes the extra mile with every individual, ensuring they get exactly the experience they're looking for. I would 100% without a doubt recommend Film Venture London to anyone, well worth the money. If i had to describe FVL in one word.... Magic :D |

| Message | I have just completed the Camera Acting Intensive course with FVL and could not be happier with my experience. Graham and Amy are such supportive and friendly people that a safe and relaxed atmosphere is quickly created. Every member of our group was given completely undivided time and attention. Graham is a director of such a high calibre and it's clear from day one that you're in the company if someone who knows exactly what they are talking about! I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this course. My only complaint is that it's over!!  Thank you both so much for an invaluable week. |

| Message | I can honestly say I have never gotten more out of a course then I did from Film Venture London. I didn't want the course to end. From the first minute till the last I knew I had been a part of something very unique and special! With Graham's experience and knowledge of the industry and watching how he deals with actors individually and together as a class I knew I was in very good hands. This guy knows what he's talking about BIG TIME!! I cannot recommend FVL more. |

| Message | I highly recommend the FVL Camera Acting Intensive course to all actors out there of all stages in their career. I guarantee you, you will learn a lot! Graham's unique delivery style makes the course not only enjoyable but hugely informative. His ability to view scene requirement from a director's standpoint and also from an actor's make his courses unlike any other I have attended to date. All culminating in a scene for use in your showreel - what more could you want? Genius!  |

| Message | Well it's said here so many times & entirely justified that the FVL course with Graham is without a doubt worth every penny. I initially took his course, on a friends recommendation, to get directing tips (I had never really considered acting!). Graham, through his skill, creativity, honesty & ability to easily communicate found an actor in me. Considering I'd never done a days acting before his course, that was no mean feat! And I'm still learning from him. His showreel scenes are both excellent in quality & story and on the back of those alone I landed an agent in Dublin & now another in London. I've since been in a number of features, short films & TV ads. This in the space of a little more than a year. And yes I'll be thanking him from the podium down the road!! |

| Message | What a fantastic course. Graham really knows his trade, inside and out. Being truly made feel at ease and being encouraged to go that little bit deeper, have a look inside and realise you have all the tools inside to create something genuine and real. I can't recommend this course highly enough! I've done 2 and intend on doing more! |

| Message | I would highly recommend the courses that FVL provide. Graham uses his years of experience to coax the best from the students. Calmly and confidently asking the questions that the students will eventually ask themselves to get their best performances. Don't wait, just sign up, and you will get a fresh perspective on your work - both on screen and off! Like any good story, I keep going back to the courses, I am still finding something new to take away with me. The queue starts behind me. |

| Message | The Advanced Acting For Camera course was invaluable to me for three main reasons. Firstly, you get to meet and work with other actors who help you to develop your own skills and confidence. Secondly, Graham uses the skills you have, and the ones that you don't know you have or are too self conscious to use fully, and brings them out of you in the right way. He encourages you to recognise what the part needs and where to find it within yourself. And finally, he gives you the insight into how the camera will work in the scene, making sure that you are able to use the screen time to your, and the films, best advantage. If you are looking into the course then you are on the right track. Sign up for the course and you are halfway there. Highly recommend it. Dan Siron. |

| Message | Graham is rare amongst directors in that he explains lucidly, listens well and truly understands an actor. With great communication in place, he is also brilliant behind the camera and has a sixth sense in knowing how the scene will work for you. I learnt so much during my week and felt more comfortable in front of the camera, which made my scene much more convincing. I came away more confident and very happy with my showreel. Couldn't have asked for more! |
