“The PaintA Children’s Film Acting Program for ages 6 – 13 with Renée Ford Clark.
Renée Ford Clark joins the CSA Film Academy as an acting coach. Formerly a successful teacher of children with the Academy of Cinema and Television, Renee will teach commercial and film acting techniques to kids and tweens after school.
The Paint Shop program will run from September 7 to December 15. The program will bring out your child’s special gifts for acting and prepare them for the business, all in a fun and nurturing environment. The program includes: – Commercial Acting, Audition techniques, Improvisation for Camera and Film.
Students will learn the basics of perfecting specific characters for commercials while establishing the foundation to build solid acting skills for film. They will learn how to slate, memorize quickly, master the cold read and get to the “next level” of commercial auditioning.
During The Paint Shop’s Improv segment, students work on their listening and quick decision making skills and focus on being spontaneous, while “agreeing and proceeding” with others to make a scene work. The exercises presented help actors get to the truth of relationships in and easy and fun way whether working alone, with a partner or in a group.
The film segment trains young actors about the elements of filmmaking as well as how actors fit in the the filmmaking process. Actor’s perform for the camera (which varies from stage performance), and students gain an understanding of how a film set operates.

Mondays: 6-8 year olds BEGINNERS 4:00-5:30pm

Lifetime orders more ‘Diva’
“Drop Dead Diva” has legs at Lifetime. The cable channel has renewed the Sony Pictures TV dramatic comedy for a second season. Lifetime has ordered 13 episodes to air next year. “Diva” stars Brooke Elliott as a once-shallow aspiring model who is reborn after a car accident as brilliant, plus-size attorney Jane Bingum. The series performed strong out of the gate for the cable channel in its debut in July. “Diva” has averaged 2.6 million viewers in its Sunday 9 p.m. timeslot, and in its most recent airing Sunday, it hit a best-yet audience of more than 3 million viewers. “Diva’s” ascent has helped boost the audience for its 10 p.m. companion drama “Army Wives,” making both shows more valuable to Lifetime. ” ‘Drop Dead Diva’ is one of those rare gems that has charmed both viewers and critics,” said Lifetime entertainment executive vice president JoAnn Alfano. “Brooke is a unique talent who has a wonderful career ahead of her.” The series was created by drama veteran Josh Berman, who executive produces with Craig Zadan, Neil Meron, Alex Taub and David Petrarca. Margaret Cho co-stars as Bingum’s loyal assistant. “Diva” has drawn a long list of guest stars in its freshman season, including Paula Abdul, Rosie O’Donnell, Tim Gunn, Liza Minnelli, Delta Burke and Nia Vardalos. ‘Drop Dead Diva’ is produced in Peachtree City, Georgia.

2009 Public Service Announcement “One Person At A Time” Benefiting
United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta’s Regional Commission on Homelessness
August 18, 2009- (Atlanta, Ga.)- Women in Film and Television Atlanta (WIFTA) has joined forces with the United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta’s Regional Commission on Homelessness and public relation firm Edleman to produce a public service announcement designed to bring awareness to the issue of homelessness in Atlanta and to help make a difference in ending the problem “One Person at a Time”.
“This year’s WIFTA PSA will spotlight the issue of chronic homelessness by showing that homelessness can affect anyone – and that anyone can help”, said WIFTA’s VP of Professional Development and PSA Producer, Shani Harris Peterson. The PSA reaffirms that it doesn’t matter what race you are or if you are an elderly man, woman, teen, child or family, homelessness affects thousands of people everyday. The question is, “Can we end this?” and the answer is….Yes, we are ending this – one person at a time.
WIFTA is proud to announce that this year’s “One Person At A Time” PSA director will be Angela Barnes Gomes, an accomplished director known most recently as the creator and Executive Producer of the hit TBS micro-series “My Manny.” Angela currently has a development deal with TBS for two additional series.

About the WIFTA PSA Program:
Each year WIFTA partners with a local non-profit to produce a PSA to help raise the public profile of their organization and charitable cause and provides production and distribution services pro-bono to the community on their behalf. All this is accomplished by utilizing the talents and skills of current WIFTA members and volunteers.

Through the annual PSA Program WIFTA seeks to:

A LITTLE BIT COUNTRY – A LITTLE BIT ROCK N ROLL
California is a place that looms large — not only in the national economy, but also in our collective imagination. As part of a summer series, NPR is talking to people who embody an aspect of California and have a unique insight on what the Golden State is all about.
Beth Broderick, who plays Aunt Zelda on the TV seriesSabrina, the Teenage Witch and Evangeline Lilly’s mother on the dramaLost, says her annual wages have plummeted to $70,000 from between $300,000 and $500,0000 — despite having the same amount of work.
Beth is having a tough time making a living as an actress lately. That wasn’t always the case — and it’s not for lack of work. She belongs toHollywood’s middle class: actors and crew members who have worked on countless sit-coms, TV dramas and movies. She’s not an A-list celebrity, but she’s also not a waitress waiting for her first break. Broderick plays Aunt Zelda on the TV seriesSabrina, the Teenage Witch and Evangeline Lilly’s mother on the dramaLost. And she tells NPR’s Madeleine Brand that she feels “totally, truly, entirely blessed” for her 20 years in the business.
“I like having my autonomy, I like going into the vegetable aisle with little fanfare,” Broderick says. “Very few go into that star category, in that uber above-the-title category. The rest of us, day in and day out, we’re there to support what they do.”
But over the past decade, the wages for the professional class have plummeted, Broderick says. She used to make $25,000 to $30,000 to guest star on an hour long TV episode. Now she gets about $6,000, which comes out to $4,800 after commission.
“The average actor might only be able to book six to eight guest star jobs a year — that would be high,” she says. So when you start doing the math, you can’t live on that in Los Angeles.”
Annually, Broderick says her annual income has gone from $300,000 to $500,000 down to $70,000 — and that’s for the same amount of work. There is a lot less work available, she says, because fewer pilots get picked up or are given a shot to succeed. Shows like Cheers, which took a year and a half to catch on, wouldn’t make it in today’s climate, she says,
“I feel sorry for young actors today,” Broderick says. “When I first got here, I was getting four scripts a day in the busy season. Now these kids, maybe they get four scripts every two months. Last year’s writer’s strike also took a huge toll on the industry. It was pretty devastating because all of us were out of work,” Broderick says. “If I had a dollar for every time I was offered to star in a Web series for nothing, I’d be a lot richer than if I actually starred in a Web series for nothing. What’s more, former A-list stars who are out of work have begun “filtering to the professional class,” taking away work from people such as Broderick and diluting the wages. Now, she says, all of the profit is at the top. The studio heads still get paid enormous salaries. They still have huge golden parachutes,” Broderick notes. “Stars still make $20 million a picture, but the people right below them are making scale.”
She says, “It’s really going to have to come down to the leadership — from producers, directors and stars — who say, ‘You know what, thanks for the $20 million, I’m going to take $19 [million], and let’s divvy the rest up between the next 10 people on the call sheet so that those people I’m staring across from the camera at for the next eight weeks — I can feel good knowing that their kid can go to school.”
Broderick believes the problem is that few actors are willing to stand up, take a risk and voice the issues with the industry.
“Nobody wants to sit where I’m sitting and say, ‘Hey, this is the reality. I did two movies, six guest-star spots and I starred in a one-woman show, and I’m not making any money. I’m on TV every day in every country in the world, and I don’t make any money,’ ” Broderick says.
“Somebody’s got to say it. Nobody wants to take that risk, nobody wants to admit that or put that out there, but it’s true.”
After the fantastic response to our workshop in July and the outstanding performances given by the students, the Chez Studio will hold another informative acting workshop next month. Saturday, August 22nd.
Shay Bentley-Griffin will be hosting a follow-up On-Camera Acting Class for young actors, age 7–17, where actors will learn about the audition process and experience feedback from Mrs. Bentley-Griffin as well as other industry professionals. This will be a class that will challenge those who have been working and will be an introductory course for new talent.
Working actors that have trained with the Chez Studio include: Garland Hunt, Jr., Bubba Lewis, Skyler Day, Anna Rappaport, Christian Kanupke, Allanah Parmer, Katherine Shepler, and Susan Griffiths. As well as Dakota Fanning!
Our goal is to assist young actors by creating a professional work place for talent.
Our classes are limited in number and we will secure space by the first commitments made to the class. The cost of the class is $75.00 for new students and $65.00 for our returning students!!! payable by check or money order!
Please contact us by email at chezgroup@aol.com or by phone at 404-603-8755.
Come be a part of our acting team as we work to build a showcase of talent for industry professionals
