Trident and our partners now offer week-long acting and filmmaking retreats and weekend workshops in London, Budapest or Spain, where you can immerse yourself in an acting and filmmaking working holiday.
Our next acting and filmmaking retreats and weekends are taking place in London and Budapest and Spain. Over a weekend or a whole week of creation and relaxation, you will delve into the art of acting and filmmaking and also have time to enjoy outings and socialising as well.
Two delicious daily meals and comfortable accommodation are included, so you get a stress-free and enjoyable creative holiday where you can have fun and relax but also get to upgrade your skills and gain new knowledge.
Actors and film crew participants receive hands-on experience, get footage useful for their showreels and portfolios, participate in a working film set, and collaborate on short films. You can even gain IMDb credits for your work and also benefit from workshops and sessions led by film and acting professionals.
Our retreats aim to offer a perfect blend of learning and leisure, providing networking opportunities, a nuturing creative environment, and hopefully some lasting friendships too. Whether you're a beginner, looking to hone your craft or simply unwind in a nice setting with like-minded creatives, our retreats take your passion for filmmaking and acting to the next level.
