Actors… this one might sting a little.
AND ACTION: Why We Need To Be Doing Something
Inside:
- Why “feeling it” isn’t enough
- The trap of fake work
- A brutal audition story
- Why verbs > vibes every time
PLUS:
Save the dates
Full rollout of The Actors Lab — our new wrap-around actor ecosystem
Training. Community. Momentum.
No matter where you’re at, there’s a place for you. Because acting isn’t about feeling interesting. It’s about doing something.

!!!ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
We are meeting you--where you are at!! No more waiting and no more guessing how this industry works. The Actors Lab is our online training campus built for actors who want real access to: Craft, Community, Industry knowledge, Ongoing connection
Train from anywhere so you stay connected and keep building. Because where you live should never limit where you go.
This is about access. This is about momentum. This is about doing the work.
Tap in. Get involved.
Two Professionals. Two Perspectives. One Room.
The industry is moving fast. Auditions are everywhere. And yes… self tapes still suck--but they don’t have to.
The On Camera & Commercial Intensive (OCCI) is designed to level up your audition game by sharpening the skills you already have while building the confidence the industry demands..
In this 4-hour working intensive we’ll tackle:
Script Analysis – finding the story fast
What Character Really Is – beyond the obvious choices
Camera Technique – small adjustments, big impact
Commercial Acting – authenticity that books
Self Tape Standards – because presentation matters
Industry Expectations – what professionals actually look for
This is about working smarter, auditioning stronger, and walking into the room (or the tape) with confidence.

@ourlastdayaskids by @dylanhryciuk sweeps the @moosejawfilmfestival gaining another 4 laurels: Best Director, Best Female Performance, Best Short, and Best of Fest.
@jeffevanstodd and I were asked to produce Dylan's debut and it continues to be a career highlight of mine.
Dylan is someone SK is lucky to have. In 2021 he was the Cinematographer on @jeffevanstodd directed #ghostsofyesterday which went on to win a Golden Sheaf for 'Best Scripted' in 2022.
A year later Dylan asked us to produce his project, 'OLDAK'. Many, many many zoom calls, emails, group chats latter and we were filming something really special in August 2023. OLDAK has wrapped up its festival run with some very impressive accolades, but more importantly, OLDAK and Dylan are proving that SK creators can compete on the international stage.
Thanks to EP @elisabethfoucault for supporting the film and the countless #kickstarter backers.
2 professionals. 2 perspectives. 1 room.
@styledayne + @abramsenlaura bring working actor insight, real-world technique, and zero fluff.
This is for actors who want:
- sharper choices
- stronger confidence
- better bookings
- real momentum
We’ll break down on-camera technique, commercial specificity, and what actually books; not theory, not trends, not guesswork.
Just real reps, real feedback, real growth. We are hands-on, fast-paced, and industry-focused, because thats what the real world is like.
Spots are limited.
If you’re ready to level up, this is your room.
We set the 'bar' high in 2025. A cumulative:

Actors showed up, our community got stronger, and careers moved forward.
Speak Boldly. Act Bravely.
