Trident Productions and our partners in Spain and England offer the opportunity to embark on unforgettable retreats in England or rural Andalusia, Spain, where you can immerse yourself in our acting and filmmaking working holiday.
Our next acting and filmmaking retreats are in London and Sussex. Over 6 days and 5 nights of creation and relaxation, you can delve into the art of acting and cinema while enjoying outings and socializing as well.
Two daily meals and accommodation are included, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable working holiday where you can have fun and relax but also have plenty of opportunity to upgrade your skills and gain new knowledge.
Actors and film crew participants receive invaluable hands-on experience, get footage useful for showreels and portfolios, participate in working film sets, and collaborate on a final short film. You can also gain IMDb credits for your work, get a certificate of completion of the training, and the benefit of workshops and sessions led by film and acting professionals.
Our retreats aim to offer a perfect blend of learning and leisure, providing networking opportunities, a nuturing creative environment, and hopefully some lasting friendships.
Whether you're an absolute beginner, looking to hone your craft or simply unwind in a nice setting with like-minded creatives, our retreats take your passion for filmmaking and acting to the next level.
