For those interested in Acting

Dear James, Starting in March, I will be conducting a limited number of small group acting workshops in the Santa Monica area. I'm very excited about this unique class because it puts focus squarely on the relationship between the actor and the director, and I simply love working with actors. Another exciting feature is that I've arranged to bring some wonderful guests to class like Zack Estrin, writer-producer of Prison Break, Scott Derrickson, director of The Day the Earth Stood Still and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Sherryl Clark, Head of Film at Bad Robot (JJ Abrams' production company), Scott Aversano who worked with Scott Rudin for many years as his head of production while producing such films as The School of Rock, Orange County, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Manchurian Candidate and several other fantastic features, television producer-director Robbie McNeill, veteran television directors Bethany Rooney and Tom Verica, and, last but not least, Max Mayer who has directed episodes of Alias and West Wing and whose feature was just picked up by Fox Searchlight at Sundance! Congratulations, Max! I think it's going to be a blast and that serious actors will get a lot out of it, making sure they are ready when their opportunity arrives. Details about the offering can be found at adamcollisacting.net. Please let me know if you have questions about or interest in taking the class. And please feel free to forward this to any actors who might want to participate. Wishing everyone a great 2009. Adam 310-940-3865 adamcollisacting.net
