Since 2003, Next Actor Films, a SAG signatory company, has been training students of all ages through our training division Next Actor Studio.
It is the only Studio in Texas that teaches Stanislavski Method Acting to adults and teens of different levels, has a solid behind-the-scene training program for filmmaking, screenwriting and editing students, a film production company that allows our students to have a worldwide exposure if cast, and a vibrant international film festival that takes place each October - Niff Houston.
In 2018 itself, we had several movies released on Amazon Prime, and we saw the production of a SAG-AFTRA feature starring Eric Roberts and Kamala Lopez that got completed in 2019. In 2020, a TV series RECAST is being cast and shot.
During Covid19, when everything was shut down, our talented and dedicated students did not stop practicing. They chose to participate in self-tape challenge, while staying home and recording their performances, which are available on our social media and website to be viewed.
Several Next Actor Students have started their acting career by being cast in our shorts and features, that have opened in international film festivals such as Cannes, SXSW, Sundance and National platforms like the Museum of Modern Arts (Moma) and released worldwide via Amazon Prime and Netflix.
