2 Week Feature Film and TV Intensive with Kevin Kuffa, Casting Director, Lynn Kressel Casting

Thursday, May 24, 2012, 7pm ET / 4pm PT

This is a great opportunity to learn the differences between auditioning for roles for TV and film! In this 2 week Intensive you will work on prepared sides for both Film and Television. All aspects of working on-camera in both mediums will be covered fully by Kevin. From one of the largest TV/film casting offices in NYC and home to the prestigious Law and Order franchise, Kevin brings years of experience working with Lynn Kressel to this Advanced film/TV class. Casting daily for TV series, mini-series, MOW's and feature films, Kevin will coach you on audition techniques specific to these areas. Whether you're auditioning for an episodic or a feature, this class will teach you the things you need to know that can help you to get the call-back and then BOOK the job. The 1st week, you will have prepared an episodic scene given to you in advance based on your headshot/resume that you have uploaded to your AC online account. You will find out immediately if your headshot/resume "represent" what you are trying to market from a Casting Director's perspective. Week #2 you'll be working on a scene from a feature film/MOW chosen for you based on your work in week one. Both sessions are ON CAMERA. Kevin's current projects include the NBC pilot "Chicago Fire", the feature film "Beach Pillows" shooting this summer in Long Island, starring Geoffrey Arend and Vincent Kartheiser, and the mini-series "Air Force One Is Down." He also just finished casting a Lifetime pilot called "Sworn To Silence" and did NY casting for Jean Pierre Jeunets "The Selected Works Of TS Spivet." Recent projects include A&E's Stephen King mini-series "Bag Of Bones", the indie film "The Red Robin" and the Sundance-award winning "3 Backyards" with Edie Falco, Elias Koteas, and Embeth Davidtz. Past projects include casting the last season of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent", casting series regular's for "Law & Order: SVU" and "Law & Order: Los Angeles", Hallmark MOW "Kate & William", Lifetime MOW "Secrets In The Walls", "Eat Pray Love" starring Julia Roberts, "How Do You Know" starring Paul Rudd, Reese Witherspoon, and Owen Wilson, and Pilots: "Riverworld", "The Phantom" and "Alice." Kevin has also worked with Gayle Keller on the ABC series Six Degrees and the feature film The Last Mimzy, and with Ann Goulder on the features The Life Before Her Eyes (starring Uma Thurman) and The Nanny Diaries (starring Scarlett Johannsen). ***Each week your scene will be video taped as a digital file. Within one week after each class, you will receive an email with the file to watch and view your work.*** Please upload your headshot and create a resume in your online account upon registration. "It was a pleasure to be part of the class. Kevin's feedback was invaluable and appreciated." -Carrie Scharbo "I wanted to thank to Actors Connection for all your efforts in making the Kevin Kuffa 3-week class so successful! The atmosphere was pleasant and professional, yet relaxed. I had a wonderful time and am so sad it has ended! Kevin has a great communication style with actors. I think he is a natural born director! I really appreciated his thoughtfulness, humor and honesty in his feedback. His mild manner, laser sharp insights and upbeat humor made the class such a pleasure to attend each week. I learned so much listening to his comments and watching him work with the other actors. And he brought me in to audition for L&O right after class ended." -Catherine Cobb Ryan
