About Screenwise:
Screenwise employs tutors of the highest professional standards who are regularly employed in the film & television industry giving Screenwise the edge over other drama schools. They are well aware how hard the film industry can be for actors and know it's getting harder all the time. Work is scarce and highly competitive. Budgets are low, schedules are tight and producers not only need talented actors, they also need technically efficient ones. The industry saw an urgent necessity for acting schools to look beyond just the creative side to the actor's craft and see the big picture, and Screenwise has successfully filled that need for over twelve years.
