MONOLOGUE & SCENE WORK 16-20 SEPTEMBER:
Working on scenes or monologues chosen by the student.

For Emidio the desire to act comes from shyness and a need to understand himself! He started his training at the Cestello Theatre directed by M. Baylon and R. Masini and continued at the Teatro Nuovo directed by Raul Bulgherini. He then studied diction and dubbing directed by L. Lentini and R. Ciurluini and at the“Massimo Troisi” National School of Comics before attending Florence Movie Academy.

Obviously in order to work in the cinematography sector it is important to have other skills, in fact Emidio speaks English and French and has horseriding experience.

Here you can read about Emidio’s professional experiences, with the right determination anything is possible! From theatre, to cinema to television adverts.

An actor with a visceral love for acting, an actor with continuous desire and willpower, an actor who while acting, you immediately understand that he is having fun, a really important quality to transmit energy to the rest of the crew.

We at Florence Movie Academy will always be grateful to Emidio, because he gave us experience and curiosity in improving and growing, thanks Emidio.

Giorgio Lumia has a high school diploma in IT but has decided to study to become an actor.
He began by studying theatre at the ‘Teatro della Limonaia’ in Sesto Fiorentino.
At the end of his studies he decided to take a course of cinema acting and so he chose Florence Movie Academy.
In addition to acting, Giorgio also worked as a technician for many performances and shows, demonstrating that with perseverance you can attain the best for yourself and your career.

Giorgio doesn’t stop here, a wise actor never stops studying.

He starts a course with the director Riccardo Giannini, improvisation with the ‘Areamista’ group and dubbing with our collaborators ‘Doppiaggio in Carrozza’.
Giorgio has performed in many shows and short films and has toured many theatres in Italy with
“Alice in Wonderland – The Musical” produced by ‘La Compagnia delle Formiche’ in which he played the White Rabbit.

An actor with many skills and excellent vocal talents.

Giorgio is a great example of enthusiasm and determination!

Who is Nestor Sierra, a man who decided to study acting as an adult with character, strength and the necessary determination to make it.

Nestor was born in the US but grew up in Colombia. After having studied Italian, French and Japanese at university, he worked as a legal translator and interpreter.

After 11th September 2001 he enrolled in the United States Marine Corps.

However, his childhood dream remained that of becoming an actor.
Nestor came to Florence to study at Florence Movie Academy

and afterwards was accepted at the New York Film Academy – Los Angeles, graduating in September 2020 with Summa Cum Laude in BFA – Acting For Film program.

Nestor lives in Los Angeles where he works a san actor and voiceover artist.

We are immensely proud that Nestor chose to start his actor training with us.

Nestor Sierra, a force of nature, you will hear about him !!!

Hi Erica, we’d like to do a short interview with you about this TV series which is due to be screened soon. What were you feeling while you were filming?
Apprehension, adrenaline, jitters, people moving about everywhere….I didn’t understand who everyone in the troupe was, in the middle of the Moroccan desert!!! (Beni Mellal – Marocco) I remember it being really hot and we had to wear really heavy costumes.

However they are amazing memories, the attention given to hair and make-up, the dressing rooms and then….Action……..AN INCREDIBLE FEELING!!! I was constantly seeking reassurance from the actor I had in front of me.
( Félix Moati)

How did he behave with you?
He was always very helpful, we tried out the scene before and because he is an experienced professional actor he explained all the roles to me, he accompanied me on set and made me feel at ease.

Did the director give you precise instructions or did he give you some freedom?
Everyone was quite surprised because rarely does he (Oded Ruskin) dedicate much time to a brief scene, especially to an actor in their first important experience. Instead with me he gave me advice because I was concentrating too much on the actor I had in front of me. Given that my character had never met the other actor’s character before, the director explained to me that it was wrong to do so. Oded was very present, actually he even let me watch the scene…. something that never happens!

We have to remember that when we are on a set it really is a real job. Were all the people and movements a distraction for you?
On that day in particular there was a lot going on because it was an action scene. We filmed it many times because there were many vehicles and extras and it was very difficult to coordinate everyone’s movements. However when they called me on set, I was able to concentrate and isolate myself from everything.

Who is the distributor of this series? Where can we watch you?
It will be on important platforms….I’m so excited, Hulu, HBO, Arte, it will be amazing to see myself there!!! It was obvious from the start that this was a really professional set!!!

Do you think that this experience can lead on to something bigger? As an actor and as a person?
It is something quite unexpected, I have been able to understand the value of a professional set and I have also recognized the need to listen because everyone has their own interests, dop, director, editors etc. but while I was there I needed to follow just a few people.

On a personal note, what does acting mean for you?
Understanding yourself and others, a key that can open doors, worlds and sensations that cannot be lived normally, in order to explore many different lives in just one.

Usually aspiring actors think that making a film is a quick process but it is not like that at all, what advice would you give them? CANCELLARE
Filming took about two hours, the other 8/9 hours were spent in hair and make-up and then just waiting around. You have to stay alert and attentive to everything that is happening around you, be careful to whom you are talking to because you risk losing important energy which you need when filming starts. I recommend saving energy and bring lots of books!

An actor who has other skills is important. Erica speaks 6 languages.
Having different kinds of know-how gives you more possibilities of working in this sector, above all in a set or tv series likes this where there is a French – Swiss – Israeli coproduction. Being able to speak different languages helped me to take part in this series which was filmed in English.

What aspects of your studies at FMA would you have been able to apply to the set?
I would have been able to understand the roles of everyone more easily. I would also have been able to prepare the character beforehand through text analysis, I would have created a back story in order to be more prepared on set and to give more meaning to the lines.

Would you recommend Florence Movie Academy?
A continually evolving environment with teachers who give high quality instruction. A place with few faces but lots of heart…

Erica, an FMA student who has undertaken her first important acting job in a tv series made by an international production.

A positive, enthusiastic young woman ready to take on the world!!!

Who is Susanna?

For us Susanna is dedication, conviction, stubbornness, strength, all adjectives for an excellent career.

To be frank and cut the matter with a “machete” you need an editor. The editor takes all the production footage and observes it in order to choose objectively what can work in the narrative.

The type of relationship between a director and an editor is comparable to the meeting between two directors who talk about the transposition of the film shooting and how the final film will be. In the dialogue between editor and director there are often many heated disagreements, but nevertheless it can be defined as one of the most creative moments in film making.

Editing is a moment in the making of a film in which the work can be saved, rewritten ore even ruined forever.

It is clear that if the director does a good job and the production guarantees an optimal performance of the filming, the editing task will be simplified. Only with high quality material can a masterpiece be obtained from the assembly.
