As artists, we have the rare and awesome responsibility of creating the culture we live in.Every day we are reminded of the constant evolution of the creative process by the pop singers, artists and film makers around us. Life tends to imitate art, which is why allowing God to manifest Himself through your art is the most import ant thing you can do as a believer. The influence of Hollywood is evidenced around the world. I believe there is no greater vehicle to tell the world of Jesus’ love than through the entertainment industry! I’m so excited to see Holy Wood Acting Studio raise up a company of actors who not only have cultivated a deep relationship with God, but also an understanding of the talents He has given them. We must not bury our talents in the ground. Can you imagine the movies, plays and TV shows that can be made with actors who are wholly devoted to Christ and anointed with power to point the world’s eyes UP to the ONE who loves them with an undying love! I Can’t wait for it!

“I am sure that Holy Wood Acting Studio is part of the beginning of a brand new era of acting. Holy Wood Acting Studio is bound to change the film industry and turn it upside down. Its graduates will be offering their honed talent to the world, influencing everyone in it to live life in a better way by emphasizing human values as well as focusing on the real needs of the world; needs we are made aware of, almost on a daily basis, by the news reports. All of this we students hope to accomplish through loving God, ourselves and the others around us. I would much rather have my parents give me the chance to be a part of this new project, a once-in-a-lifetime experience full of learning and passion, than have them buy me a new car. The temporary joy I would experience with the new car would last but a short time compared to the long-term fulfillment I will receive from my course of training at Holy Wood Acting Studio. The latter will provide professional and personal growth and development that will last me for a lifetime.”

“An acting studio that will strengthen your personality and moral values? What a great idea!. I am sure that the actors that have the opportunity to be a part of Holy Wood Acting Studio will become excellent actors and leaders, full of self confidence. In order to have enough confidence, we have to know ourselves first. This is very important in our lives as actors and actresses. How do we expect to interpret someone else’s character if we do not even know our own? I speak out of my own experience. I have learned to get to know myself profoundly. I have experienced much growth in my self confidence as well as in my love for God and for others. This has been a result of the Personal Growth and Development course that will be given at the Holy Wood Acting Studio.”

“As an actor, I’ve realized that portraying another human being requires more than just acting classes. In today’s world, it’s very hard to live up to your values and at the same time be an actor.

“I believe that art can be expressed in so many ways that it is not necessary to show nude scenes or use a lot of foul language in order to make a dramatic point in a scene. Holy Wood Acting Studio is an amazing idea because it will show future actors how to become someone who can influence many audiences through his or her histrionic talent and, in doing so, be a role model for others. Life tends to imitate art in so many ways. And people pay to watch actors portray a story at the movies, on stage or even on television, with cable and pay-per-view being increasingly popular. It is now up to us, the actors, to deliver powerful, influential performances that give the right message to the audience.”
