Advanced Course (Filmmaking + Acting)
Location: Florence
Course language: Italian
What does the Advanced course consist of?
Not only technicians and storytellers capable of standing behind the camera, not only actors able to communicate powerful emotions: the Advanced course at Focus Movie Academy offers the opportunity to follow both training paths, so that students can gain a complete 360-degree vision of the film industry.
Directing, editing, screenwriting, vocal techniques, singing, acting, and many other subjects—an integration of the Filmmaking and Acting courses—will find their place in the magnificent setting of Florence.
Advanced Course: Comprehensive Training in the Film Industry
Seeing the world of cinema both behind the camera and in front of it. Filming, designing, acting, evoking emotions. In one word: storytelling.
The Advanced course prepares young professionals for all the demands of the industry.
All of our instructors come together in a single course to allow students to acquire not only the knowledge to create great stories but also to become the faces of those stories. All the bonuses of the individual courses, such as the opportunity to access work internships at the completion of the studies, as well as the best way to experience the world of the academy and develop diverse skills.
