The Young Screen Actor + Filmmaker is the only 40 week program in Australia that arms the aspiring young actor with the tools to shape a professional career within the screen and filmmaking industries.

The Young Screen Actor + Filmmaker is the only program for 12yrs to 14yrs in Australia that arms the aspiring young actor with the tools to act up a storm, make lifelong friends, learn from the industry’s leading coaches and build a 20 minute short film for the cinema screen.

You will travel on a fun and educational adventure with your new acting friends and master your connection to the truth of the moment in front of and behind the camera. Your coaches are all trained to inspire you every step of the way and our YAA Screen Acting syllabus has been created to unveil a brave, skilful and playful approach towards the craft of acting and filmmaking. 

Each year Young Actors Assembly commissions a professional script writer to produce a library of scenes that aim to educate and inspire you with original ideas. You will learn how to memorise, rehearse and shoot showreel scenes inside and outside the studio and your footage is uploaded to your secure online profile to showcase your journey to family and friends at home.

Working on a film set is every young actor’s dream and over 3 days of the September School Holidays you will work with a professional crew of filmmakers, build real world connections and act up a storm in your own short film! 

In December you will proudly walk along the red carpet with your cast mates and celebrate your achievements on the big screen with family and industry guests at our end of year Young Actors Awards cinema showcase.
