The INTERACT Short Film Retreat UK is an immersive, unique opportunity for actors to work alongside professional directors and crew and create stunning scenes for their showreel.

A quality showreel is essential for showcasing your talents to casting directors, securing an agent, landing roles you want, and progressing within the industry.

Eat, Sleep and Drink screen acting: Our Short Film Retreats are residential and actors will stay together in community on location for several days. A perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the process.

At an INTERACT Short Film Retreat you will:

• Work with our directors and writers to create scenes just for you

• Enter a development process to workshop and rehearse your scenes

• Shoot bespoke scenes tailored to showcase your strengths

• Get ‘leading actor’ experience on a professional set

• Stay on location for several days and immerse yourself in the process

• Live in community with other actors on location

• Work alongside an established screen director

• Get TV quality scenes for your showreel

Showreels serve different purposes - so understanding what you want your reel to do for you is important. Once clear, you can focus on its length, how many scenes are needed, and specific genres you want to showcase. Having an experienced person to guide you through the process, a writer who can create original scenes to promote your unique talents and casting type, a professional crew to shoot scenes and a director who will lead and support you to develop your character onscreen is invaluable.

At the end of the retreat, you will leave with an experience of working on a professional set, unrivalled industry insights, a fast-track development experience and a high-production reel. And, as if that’s not enough - quality connection and relationships with your fellow retreat actors.

We have access to studios, the great outdoors, talented in-house writers, acclaimed television and film directors, exceptional crew and remarkable editors - all we need is YOU. What are you waiting for?
