Acting in Columbus Newsletter | October 2011: JUSTIN COVERT

JUSTIN COVERT just burst onto the scene - seemingly from nowhere. Having had no previous acting training or experience Justin took the ACTING FOR TV COMMERCIALS class in August 2011. Justin immediately was picked up by the CAM TALENT AGENCY and started booking right away. Jason is currently appearing in a SAFE AUTO Commercial and the ABC TV Show 'FINAL WITNESS'.

“Final Witness” — a blend of drama and documentary — portrays murders from the victims’ point of view and includes interview footage with real people involved in the case. Filming took place in Dayton, Ohio the last two weeks in September 2011.

An intensive workshop to prepare the actor for working on a film or television set and to produce a clip for their demo reel. Students will concentrate on the development of acting skills through working on a film based on 12 ANGRY MEN, a 1957 film directed by Sidney Lumet. Our modern adaptation of this film will allow each student to be cast in a substantial role.
This class will guide the student, step by step, from the audition process, through preparation and rehearsal to actually filming on a set. In addition, students will also learn industry etiquette and terminology. We will be shooting with two cameras and a film crew to produce a product worthy for the actors' demo reels.
Students, friends and family members are invited to attend the WRAP PARTY and SCREENING of the film at the GATEWAY FILM CENTER. Students will receive a DVD of the film and a individual clip for their demo reels.

The film will also be screened for regional Casting Directors, Agents and Filmmakers.
