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.
