EVENT SYNOPSIS:

Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute instructors David Strasberg and Dylan Mooney share how Method Acting, the renowned, proven and often mysterious acting technique, remains an essential piece of the modern filmmaker’s toolbox. They discuss what you actually need to know to work with Method Actors on set, how to get the best performance out of any Actor, and how filmmakers can maximize their resources for high-quality content on an indie-budget.
