HELPING YOU MAKE THE TRANSITION
 FROM THE AMATEUR TO THE PROFESSIONAL

What is Dawn Wells' Film Actors Boot Camp?

FABC
is a very small (maximum 20 resident students per session)
PERSONALIZED Boot Camp with a Western flavor. A
one week intensive study for the actor serious about a
career in the Film Industry (including T.V., film, video, commercials, voice-overs, etc.).

  From Sitcoms To Soaps, From Westerns To Dramas -- it's a
place where the amateur actor can learn the
NUTS AND BOLTS
of being a professional in the film acting business.

You will learn how to save time, expense and mistakes while experiencing interaction with Film Industry Professionals. It's
a place where you will
learn the "business" of show business
as well as your own
"marketability" -- where the transition
from amateur to professional begins.

The actor will also have a
PERSONAL ASSESSMENT by a producer, director, casting director, agent or manager currently active in the film industry, as well as by the professional and experienced faculty.

 
On location at Teton Wells Ranch there is a film studio, separate classroom, a complete make-up and hair styling room and locations both in and outdoors for filming. All this in Teton Valley Territory,
Driggs, Idaho- 35 miles from
Jackson Hole, Wyoming
.

The uniqueness of this Film Actor's Boot Camp is
INTENSIVE STUDY combined with the WESTERN EXPERIENCE.You will visit
Jackson Hole, barbecue around the campfire,
experience chuckwagon jamborees, melodramas
and possibly a trail ride or two.

"I think everyone who is in pursuit of an acting career needs this kind
