Tuesday Nights: Where Young Actors & Filmmakers Find Their Voice
At our award-winning Fleet school, we bridge the gap between enthusiastic beginner and industry-ready creator. Super 8 was founded in 2012 and in it's time, students have won festival awards for short films and secured places at top drama and film schools – but more importantly, they've discovered creative confidence that extends far beyond the stage or screen.
The Super 8 Difference
We blend professional acting techniques with practical filmmaking skills through our unique 8-pillar system:
-
Authentic Presence (Meisner's truth in performance)
-
Expressive Physicality (Laban's movement language)
-
Purpose-Driven Acting (Hagen's essential objectives)
-
Strategic Storytelling (Chubbuck's impactful choices)
-
Cinematic Vision (Spielberg's visual narrative)
-
Dynamic Editing (Tarantino's rhythmic pacing)
-
