DETAILS:
“Jade Esteban Estrada's Reel Deal: On Camera & Off Camera” is part of a series of workshops hosted by PrimaDonna Productions, Inc., covering all aspects of the arts and entertainment industries.  This time, the workshop will take place over two sessions: “On Camera” will be a Film Acting/Scene Study class, and “Off Camera” will focus on Making It In Multiple Markets.

The workshop will be led by Jade Esteban Estrada, a veteran of stage and screen who calls San Antonio home.  As a singer, music from Estrada’s CD "Angel" has appeared on the award-winning series "The Shield", and as a screen actor, his credits include recent appearances in the Emmy award-winning series "30 Rock" and "Friday Night Lights". “We always tell our clients that there are two sides to show business,” says Nikki Young, President of PrimaDonna Productions, Inc., “and as a working actor, Jade has experience in both - the show and the business.  So this workshop will be a great opportunity to learn from someone who’s out there in the marketplace right now.”  Estrada adds, “Acting is both an art and a profession.  Whether you’re in the audition room or on set, you’re going to need very specific skills to make your best impression or give your best performance.  So I’m proud to be working with PrimaDonna to help share those essential tools with other actors.”

Students have praised Estrada’s previous workshops; actress Jo Grabow recommends The Reel Deal for its “small intimate class, committed teacher, interesting materials, and great feedback,” while Gloria Sanchez says, “The experience of this workshop will always be a treasure.”

PrimaDonna Productions, Inc. donates a portion of the proceeds from its workshops to an industry-related charity chosen by the speaker; for his workshop, Estrada has chosen to support the Texas Motion Picture Alliance (TXMPA).  “I’ve just come back from TXMPA’s Lobby Day in Austin,” Estrada says, “and it was such a powerful experience to see people from every part of the business come together to speak out for the film industry in Texas.  It was an honor to lift my voice with theirs, and it’s an honor to continue to support them through this workshop.”
