FABA short-film The Valiant played at the Life Fest, its 3rd film festival so far. It was originally developed in Brian D. Scott's Advanced Film Acting class featuring our student-actors Christopher Damm & Galina Pasternak and directed by Celik Kayalar, the founder & director of FABA and an award-winning film director.
Ria Pullin and Rick Lasquete signed with the prestigious Stars Agency. In the last year alone, 3 of our other acting-students, Greg Cala, Erica Luttenegger, Alex Hero, had signed with Stars, and Maaika Westen with JE Talent.
Ex'pression College's Filmmaking program is growing rapidly. Directors are casting our acting-students of all levels in record numbers.
