More Than Just An Exam Board
At Middleweek Newton, we aren't a faceless corporation; we are a small, tight-knit team of trained actors, working agents, producers and filmmakers.
Wearing those hats gives us a unique perspective. As agents, we see exactly what casting directors are looking for. As producers - with feature films on Netflix and Amazon Prime - we know the technical demands of a professional set.
We realised that despite the boom in screen production, the specific technical training for young actors and filmmakers simply wasn't there. So, we built it ourselves.
We aren't just giving you a curriculum; we’re giving you the blueprint we use to build careers.
