Training at Katharsis Media is unlike any other. That is because Katharsis Media is not an acting school--it is a working studio with several television series in distribution and many other projects either in preproduction or post production. We believe that training is vital because we want our projects to be the very best--and therefore training is required. THAT is why we teach.

Our training programs follow a hybrid model of classroom time AND hands on learning on live sets. Not just sets that are for educational purposes, not sets to provide clips for a demo reel--actual productions that will be on tv and online streaming platforms. We currently have 3 television series in distribution on Comcast 27 and available soon on Amazon Prime. 

How do we do this? Easy--we intentionally make time for training and for trainees. Our above the line crew and actors are asked to give time in the classroom so that our students are learning from working professionals, not "professionals looking for work" (whatever that means). On sets, our professionals works side by side tech interns so interns can learn the trade, but also have a resource right there if they have questions. Our acting students are given small speaking roles so they can practice being on a live set and acting for an actual camera. They spend time in the classroom working their scenes with our incredible directors, who coach them from script analysis through final on camera performance.  When students graduate from our programs--whether in front of or behind the lens, they leave with on set experience and credits for their IMDb.
