ABOUT
The Name
A forge is a workshop for a blacksmith - full of hard work, consistency, and craftsmanship. It's not easy molding metal. Hammering away at a skill isn't for those who give up easily. The Forge is for those who chase dreams, make careers out of thin air, and smirk in the faces of those who said they couldn't.
​
If you're looking for a school that will pat you on the head and tell you good job, whether you're getting better or not, we're not for you. We are here to train the actors and filmmakers who are ready to do the hard work, stay consistent, and fight to be better at their craft day after day.
