I signed my 11-year-old son up to Verve's weeklong film acting class. Each day after class I picked him up and asked, "how did it go?" Each day he said, "It was fun and that he liked it." When I probed a little more, he said that he felt he was learning how to act. I loved hearing that.
I also loved the professional approach the studio took to create an environment that modeled a real working one - one where the actor is paid. The studio sent a call sheet the day before a shoot and incorporated terminology that an actor would hear in a studio employing actors.
