CineGym is exactly what is says it is, a gym for the cinematic arts. CineGym began 15 years ago in Dunwoody, GA where 100's of working and aspiring actors, writers, directors, producers and even photographers got together twice a week.The first night, we would do "cold reads" from scripts actually written by members. Each scene would be cast at the beginning of the evening and we would proceed to performances. A facilitator would then lead criticism of the performances and people would learn from each other what they looked like from the outside.
The second night, we would get together at an interesting location and actually shoot scenes, sometimes the very ones we had previously seen cold. We saw various stages of polish on these pieces and everybody had a great time.
We were proud to have among us the very best actors in the Atlanta area including many household names in Atlanta film today.
Bryan E. Hall facilitated CineGym until he decided to go to Los Angeles to attend the University of Southern California Film School for my Masters. Prior to that he had co-owned the Atlanta Film Institute and co-published two entertainment newspapers.
After many years in LA and abroad, he has returned to Atlanta and CineGym is reborn as a division of our film production company, Aware Productions.
Here, you will find a variety of film workshops and actor services to encourage the perfection of craft! Private workshops are available by appointment but we will regularly offer film acting, camera work, indy film-making/guerrilla film, and from time to time we will even offer showcases as a culmination of the work we have done over time.
