Screen Stars 26 London - Train. Be assessed. Be considered for upcoming UK film projects in 2026.

A focused, in person acting workshop designed as a training led casting pathway for an upcoming UK film.

The workshop is led by award winning director and producer Shirley Frimpong Manso, whose work spans film, television, and branded storytelling across international markets.
