Darina Dorogan
On this course, I fell in love with the craft and discovered the magic of filmmaking. This course inspired me to be more creative because it allowed me to come up with and bring to life my own stories, while under the guidance of Mishka Kostrov who helped me analyze, revise and perfect them. I believe this course would be valuable not only for actors or those who aspire to be actors, but also for future cinematographers, screenwriters and directors, as Mishka explains the actor's role in cinema with both theory and practical examples from his students' work and scenes from world cinema. This course had so much energy and passion for cinema that it left me wanting more. And of course, I am now actively applying all this knowledge in my work. Even after several years, this course remains one of my favourites.

Friends, I also read reviews to decide whether to take this course or not, and I made the right decision for myself! So if you are reading reviews and wondering if this course is for you, I say - it is! In a condensed timeframe, you will receive key knowledge for performing in front of the camera, how to be natural, organic, and not lie to the camera. Everything is clear, concise, and on-topic. As a pro, Misha provides only the necessary information. Be prepared for practical assignments, there will be many of them. But the real thrill will come from the process of completing them. The key is to learn from your own mistakes. So don't be lazy to do your homework. You will receive quality professional feedback on each assignment. Misha, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Regarding all the insights, life changes, etc. - it all passed me by. Maybe because I didn't come for that. The most important thing I got from the course is the feedback on the material filmed and the answers to the questions asked. It is not so valued when you filmed "on the fly" - then you received comments that you could come up with yourself. Similarly, when I asked a not very well thought-out question, I received an answer that I could have come up with myself or asked my classmates. It's different when the homework was carefully done: then the comments are not like "no grade", "no tempo" etc., but the details and nuances that are not even noticed at first glance are found and analyzed. It was worth going to the course for these details and nuances.
Ivan Antonov
I've been thinking a lot about what to write and how to describe how the film course influenced me and what role it played for me personally. I think it's like this: I've never had such an opportunity, such a field for freedom of action, thought, ideas, and their implementation as I did on the course. The course is definitely about a journey into another world. It's definitely about traveling within yourself. For me, it's definitely about the brightest journey. Yes, this world is complex - it has its own laws, restrictions, technical tricks, and dogmas. It's hard to even call it a film world because Misha gives us so much more than that. It's much broader. After the course, I wondered if I could unfold myself like this on some other course or in another country for studies - I don't know. One thing I know for sure is that I asked Misha a question - (what should I do if my fantasies about completing tasks in my head are sometimes complex and possibly beyond social norms) to which he answered - do everything that arises in you, we'll find your niche. This answer is invaluable - I know from my own experience. This course is more than it seems if you're ready to receive. Thank you, Misha! This will stay with me forever.
Timur Kuddusov
The course is intense, powerful, and informative, and upon completion, you will transform from a simple movie lover into a movie researcher. There is a lot of practice and independent work involved, as well as meticulous effort, retakes, moments of enlightenment, and enjoyment of the filming process. This course is for you if you love movies, want to better understand them, learn how to behave naturally in front of the camera, make friends with like-minded people and other talented individuals. Thank you, Misha! Course: Summer 2019.
Dasha Tvoronovich
I don't know if anyone suspects this, but Misha teaches a completely European, technically correct, and universal methodology for everyone's acting. You can spend a lot of money on a Chubbuck masterclass or attend various intensives; any knowledge is wonderful. But the Acting Workshop program is a very structured, precise, and effective methodology for how to feel/be/act in front of the camera. I was lucky to work on international projects, and my process is comfortable. I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong or against my instincts. I rely on 80% of the knowledge base of this course. It's a cool class. If you really burn with passion and love for this craft (even if you don't), don't come up with excuses. Go to the course. Cut!
Vlad Yaremov
I got more than I expected: I intended to gain knowledge of acting for the camera - but in the end, in addition to that, I gained knowledge of many subtleties of filmmaking :) This course enlightens, teaches, and sets you on the right and necessary path :) It's useful and enjoyable at the same time. Huge thanks to all the teachers and the course team for the opportunity to grow and become better!! :)
Sofia Sigidova
Very cool and incredibly useful. What I really liked is that the information provided is factual and specific, rather than relying on subjective feelings like "you should feel something there." In addition to everything else, the course gives an understanding of where to go next and what to do with it all :) I'm a million times glad I went for it and give it endless likes.
Lana Shevchuk
Amazing three months!!! It's not often you come across such dedication and feedback from teachers. Plus, there's no shortage of practice along with the theory. Thank you))
