Dorset Drama Academy

Just love these performance shots of our MT Summer School 😀

🎬 Summer Film School 2026 🎬

These brilliant young filmmakers wrote and shot their own short film in just three days.

Between them and under the expert guidance of our film tutor Melissa Gotobed, they created ideas, scripted their story, directed, acted, operated the camera and sound and began editing.

We can’t wait to share the finished product with you!

The next generation of filmmakers starts here.

From your first slate to your final edit, our Film Classes are designed to develop confident performers and creative storytellers.

Whether your passion is:

🎭 Acting for camera
🎬 Directing
✍️ Scriptwriting
🎥 Film production

You’ll gain practical experience, make new friends and bring your ideas to life on screen at our annual film screening.

FREE September trial bookings are now open. LIMITED SPACES.
