| Message | Just spent the last week doing Graham's course Acting for Camera. Was one of the best weeks I've done in long time. Anybody 'thinking' of doing the course in the future should stop thinking and DO IT. |

| Message | Thank you very much for a wonderful course. I really enjoyed it and got a huge amount out of it. It was so intelligently structured and thoughtfully delivered that it allowed me to relax completely and be able to take a chance in this new camera area. The clear directions were essentially simple and 'do-able' - and I could see when they worked. It gives me a new personal baseline for working with camera. Hopefully I'll get to workshop or work with you again. In the meantime, many many thanks. |

| Message | I just completed the Advanced Film Acting Course in Dublin. It was some of the best money I have spent for a course. Even with my prior experience, I learned a great deal about the post-production side of filming. I especially liked learning about the grading of color to match shots, as well as adding sound to enhance the mood. Having input into the selection of the shots from different cameras helped to see the importance of camera placement pertaining to the scene and performance as well. I had done ADR before, but to sync up the in house dialogue to the shots taught me loads!!! I cannot wait to add this scene to my show-reel. Many, many thanks to Graham for his patience and knowledge which he so freely gave. I cannot wait to see what the next installment holds.....  |

| Message | I just completed the week long camera acting workshop in the Lab, Dublin. I can honestly say that I've never gotten more out of a course. Graham is not only a great teacher but a real Actor's Director. Thanks to him, everyone felt totally comfortable in that space to just go for it and perform. For our last day we shot original show reel scenes on location around Dublin. I'd recommend FVL to anyone. As a result of the course I feel I'm a better actor and my approaches to character work has changed forever. All the Best. |

| Message | Having studied acting for two years in London and been to a variety of courses and workshops, I can confidently say that Film Venture London’s was one of the best. In terms of Acting for Camera they were perfect. Amy and Graham are the perfect combination of a talented actress with years of industry experience and an award-winning director at the top of his game. They understand both the insecurities and aspirations of the actors they tutor and the expectations of the casting directors and agents they themselves have had first hand experience with. They not only give you excellent advice and insider tips but also know how to put you at your ease to get the best from you. I only wish I had done this course when I first started my acting training. |

| Message | This week long course was one of the best training experiences I have done yet. The true skill of a director in my eyes is to be able to put the actors at ease in front of the camera while at the same time drawing something out of them that they didn't even realise they were doing. I felt completely at home on this course and Graham truly brought out the best in me. I gained so much confidence just in one week and I am really looking forward to the next course. To work with a well esteemed and respected director, who is so down to earth and who's main focus is 'you' the actor was an experience in itself. Thanks so much, Sinead |

| Message | I left Uni acting without enough truth and I have worked hard to reprogramme to find what works for me to give truthful performances. Now I feel I have to add another layer - the tutoring from you really rang true and it was so valuable to see the footage back and discuss it. I was touched you continued late after my traffic nightmare as well - most people would not have done that... but then most people aren't Irish! |

| Message | I'm delighted to have participated in the 5 day work shop. Graham has the ability to bring out the best in an actor and make them feel completely comfortable. He also teaches how to deliver truthful and realistic performances. Graham's workshop is by far the best I have ever attended. |
