“We’ve been acting since my middle child was in pull-ups and he is now 10, he has just finished his first international feature film. There are 4 actors in our family. Tricities Film Studio has everything from elite coaches who are working actors in the film industry, who are creating their own projects, who teach the classes, and who self-tape. We are treated with respect and the studio is first-class in professionalism and inclusivity. I would commute from anywhere to ensure our whole family keeps training at Tricities because we want to remain bookable actors who have a team behind us and an acting community beside us. Thanks for all the fun too! My kids love coming to class! Thank you Lisa Durupt and her team! You are the best!

Tricities Film Studio with Lisa Durupt….A true coach and mentor….our girls leave after their coaching sessions with Lisa with the utmost confidence each and every time. The passion and drive for Lisa’s craft endlessly spills out of her and our girls just soak it all up! Not only is Lisa a successful actor onscreen but she is a tremendous coach. There is no better feeling as a parent than when a mentor for your children shows love, dedication and, most of all, is so proud and supportive with every outcome…… booking or no booking. Building confidence in our children and inspiring them to reach their limits is where Tricities Film studio is at! We love this Lady!

"Having recently completed both the Spring & Summer term of Lane’s Kick A$$ Audition Class, I highly recommend it! There’s a rumor going around that he runs a ‘tight and tough’ ship; that’s one way to interpret it; he is simply passionate about the craft. He teaches you to serve a story, to do the work and respect your work, all in an environment that is safe and supportive. Come prepared and he will guide and support you all the way."

"Lisa is amazing. I audited acting classes all over town and quite literally sat in on every school that would let me. Lisa’s light-hearted, warm and genuine demeanour paired with her ability to give pointed feedback in a constructive, helpful way was what drew me to this class when I audited and I was not disappointed. Lisa also gave us a formula to use to analyze text, effectively rehearse and get to a place of emotionally filled-up performance that I wasn’t expecting from a film/tv class and appreciated so much. I enjoyed every minute of our time together and will continue in future."

"Thank you so very much, you guys truly rock! My first experience was very impressionable, professional and felt very comfortable taping. Lauren McGibbon is a great coach and a gem to work with! Looking forward to working with Tricities Film Studio again!"

"What an incredible experience -- Lisa is such a great coach in not just getting the most out of your scene, but allowing you to mentally reframe how to approach certain moments and emotions so that you can be as authentic as possible. She also does a fantastic job in working around any obstacles you have with character, environment, or relationships. I can't wait to take classes at Tricities again!"
