Act Cape Town - Film Acting Academy

Hear it from an alum! 🧑‍🎓⭐️

“I studied at Act Cape Town full-time and was exposed to a vast curriculum that covered so many bases of what I experience now as a working actor. Acting for film is a constant adjustment and learning curve, and ACT offers a wonderful balance of learning how to hone your craft whilst being able to adjust for camera. They have a fantastic team of coaches who really want the best for their students, so if you want a strong foundation for film, this is your school.”

Jan Combrink, Actor – Die Toring

Behind the scenes of our Higher Certificate film shoot 🎬✨

From hitting marks and matching continuity, to learning how to calibrate their performance for camera, the acting for film I module gives our first year students got a real taste of what it’s like to work on a film or TV set! 🎥

Big news for ACT alum Gert Du Plessis! 👏✨

Gert stars as Joubert Cronje in Die Kantoor, the South African Afrikaans mockumentary adapted from the hit BBC series The Office.

Set in Klerksdorp, the series follows the hilariously awkward daily lives of employees at a polony distribution company.

We are thrilled to see our alumni community making their mark in the industry and bringing exciting characters to life on screen.

Congratulations, Gert. We are so proud of you! 👏❤️
