Hollywood & European Filmmakers

Our tutors are active industry professionals bringing experience from international film productions directly into our classrooms. Filmmakers like Laurent Barès (Knightsfall, Carnival Row), Martin Hub (Titanic, Gladiator), and Pavel Sagner (Nosferatu, Casino Royale) lead masterclasses and hands-on workshops where students film scenes, learn professional techniques, and gain insights usually reserved for real film sets.
