The ACSF is a professional acting studio serving actors of all levels. Because we are located in San Francisco we seek to uphold world class standards seen in Independent and Commercial films as well as on the London or Broadway stage.

We offer serious training in dramatic acting to beginners. We provide A-List coaching to working actors, writers and film makers looking to strengthen their voice.

We are a bridge for non-actors and business professionals who love film and theater and desire to seriously experiment with the art of acting in order to improve their own communication skills and emotional awareness.

We train older teens looking to enter conservatories and universities.

We believe that stories focused on truth, beauty and the search for meaning are in high demand and have a wide international audience. We hope to inspire the next wave of professional film and theater artists to understand the ancient soul of the actor's art in order to restore the earth and heal the human spirit. S.M.

"Artists and poets are the raw nerve ends of humanity. By themselves they can do little to save humanity. Without them there would be little worth saving."
