We believe in the power of film.
The Iris Screen Academy offers a variety of opportunities for participants to learn new skills, express themselves, build confidence and learn about the relevance of visual media in their everyday lives. We provide tailor made workshops and experiences that will inspire, educate and empower those who take part. We do this by offering the following:

ACTING FOR CAMERA
Whether taking part in one of our productions or joining one of our camera acting classes, we guide you to find the confidence and skills to deliver a performance to be proud of.
TRAINING & MENTORING
The Iris Screen Academy offer opportunities to put your new skills into practice, whether it is valuable work experience with us or support to create content with local groups and businesses.
