Words In Motion Acting Studio Presents
Screen Acting Intensive with Reel Footage
A two-day on-camera workshop led by 17x Emmy Award-winning director Diego Silva-Acevedo, built for actors who want truth on camera, stronger footage, and a deeper understanding of how to work in the frame.
This is not a basic acting workshop. Actors will work in a focused, professional on-camera environment where direction, framing, stillness, timing, and truth all matter.
Watch this short overview to learn how the Screen Acting Intensive works and why this workshop is different from a regular acting class.
Train for the Camera — Not the Classroom
This is not a lecture. This is not a run-through. And this is not generic footage.
This two-day screen acting intensive places actors inside a real production-style environment where direction, performance, timing, framing, and stillness all matter. Actors do not just perform for the camera — they learn how to work with it.
Led by Diego Silva-Acevedo, this workshop is designed to sharpen on-screen truth while giving actors footage they can use as part of their professional package.
What Actors Will Work On
- Working truthfully under the camera’s eye
- Adjusting performance for framing, pacing, and stillness
- Taking professional direction in real time
- Serving the story instead of chasing the moment
- Understanding how performance changes when the lens is involved
Why the Footage Matters
The footage is not a promise of bookings. It is a professional tool.
- Helps agents submit you with more confidence
- Strengthens your reel with intentional, usable material
- Builds confidence through real camera experience
- Prepares you for set life beyond the classroom
The footage is the takeaway. The growth is the return.
Who This Is For
This workshop is for actors who are serious about film and television, want stronger on-camera footage, and are ready to be challenged in a professional environment. It is especially valuable for actors preparing for representation, strengthening materials, or wanting more confidence on set and in auditions.
