The latest acting showreel of our founder, Sean Patrick Folster.

Sean continues to work as a professional, while teaching and coaching actors at all levels of their careers.

The craft evolves, as does the industry. There are so many nuances involved. Artists in a teaching role who don't continue to grow and deepen their own work by staying in the game run the risk of being passed by, talking about what acting "used to be," or becoming "a teller of tales."

The craft, the instrument and great stories are all living things--they require presence and action in order to grow & evolve.

Wherever you're at in your development, whether new or old, take your fear by the hand, get up and show up--that's what actors do. We face what scares us, and we get up to work, wherever the work is to be had. There are no shortcuts. We'll find out what we're doing by doing it.

Enjoy!
