Benson Acting Retreats

About me:

The On Camera/On Location Actors Retreat started 20 years ago, with the objective of helping actors (both veterans and those new to the craft) prepare themselves mentally, emotionally, and physically for their work in television and film. Through a series of unconventional scenarios, actors gain the first-hand experience of working on location and in front of the camera. Actors leave with a renewed sense of self-worth, a higher level of self-confidence, and some new high-quality material for their demo reel. All actors will stay at the location for the entire weekend. Lodging and meals will be provided.

The first two days will consist of preparation/rehearsal, working as a Navy Seal, FBI Agent, etc, in scenarios without scripts (Tom Hanks/”Saving Private Ryan”, Demi Moore/”GI Jane”). Scenes will be shot on the final day of the retreat.
