"Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the Film & TV Intensive on July 20. It featured an exciting and varied panel of guests that I am usually on the lookout for at Actor's Connection anyway - and here they were all in class. I learned quite a bit in the group Q&A. The feedback on my scene work was specific and very useful and I felt like I had a good amount of individual time with them. And I'm happy to say that Joel Carleton from CGF has called me in for a meeting. Thanks so much." -Ben Nordstrom
"It was so great to see you, Saturday. And I have to say how much I appreciate your very helpful and supportive staff. Also this particular panel was EXTRAORDINARY!!! They are all so personable and had nice chemistry among themselves as well 🙂 The Q and A feedback they gave us was incredibly generous. I just Loved Them! Very Grateful to you for another fantastic experience." -Roberto De Felice
