1:1 English coaching for directors, producers, actors and crew working in international film and television.
Directors. Producers. Actors. Crew.
Anyone in the international industry, or ready to make that step up.
Development. Production. Post-production.
Festivals. Markets. Pitches. Press.
Start from your project or start from the wider industry. Both routes build stronger, more natural conversations.
Pitching your vision. Giving notes across languages. Talking to press, panels and co-producers.
Co-production meetings. Broadcaster and streamer pitches. Financing conversations at markets.
International auditions. Working with English-speaking directors. Press, interviews and panels.
Leading or working within international productions. Communicating clearly on set in English.
And anyone ready to step up into bigger productions, international co-operations, or a career that crosses borders.
The pitch room, the co-production meeting, the festival Q&A, the on-set briefing, the financing conversation. These are the moments we build towards.
Explaining your project to someone who decides in the first two minutes.
Sitting across from international partners. Articulating your vision and what you bring.
Giving and taking direction in English under time pressure with an international crew.
Representing your work at screenings, Q&As and events where every conversation matters.
Walking into an English-language audition and sounding like someone who belongs.
Talking about your work in a way that is sharp, considered and quotable.
The moment you decide you are ready for a bigger stage, and need your English to match your ambition.

Every session is built around your role, your project and the real situations you are about to step into.
Sessions cover project pitches, broadcaster and streamer meetings, festival and market conversations, international auditions and on-set communication, built around your role and what you have coming up.
So when those moments come, you are not translating in your head or hesitating. You are speaking with clarity, pace and authority.

Good enough for casual or easy workplace conversations is one thing. Good enough for a room where someone is deciding whether your project or your talent is worth their time, that is a different standard entirely. Even native speakers work with coaches.
Yes. Whether you are an actor preparing for international auditions, a DoP going into your first English-language production, or a crew member working with an overseas team, you need to communicate clearly in English under real conditions.
Both. Whether you are developing a project, financing it, selling it, or working on set, the conversations change but the pressure stays the same, and we cater for all aspects. We adapt the sessions to your role and what you need to handle.
Yes. You do not need to be established in the film industry. In fact, this is often where it helps most. If you are applying for roles, about to move into new working environments or want to broaden what you can comfortably talk about, we prepare you for that. And more, we can also talk about film subjects that interest you and build your confidence and skills that way.
We work on your specific situation, your role, your project and the real conversations you are about to have. It is a mixture of practising normal conversations, looking at scenarios you currently face as well as challenges and issues. We go at the pace that feels right for you and push you where needed, in a fun or more critical way.
Both. We work on how you express yourself clearly, but also how you respond under pressure, handle questions, and stay grounded and confident.
Yes. We focus on real scenarios where decisions are being made, so you are ready to explain your work, answer directly, and keep control of the conversation.
Yes. We cover both. From everyday communication in your job or project, from speaking to colleagues, being on set or dealing with other collaborators, as well as the bigger film industry demands in your job or role where more is at stake.
Yes. If you are moving into a more demanding role or working internationally for the first time, we prepare for the conversations and expectations that come with it.
Yes. Alongside language, we look at how aspects of your industry work, recent news and developments, trends as well as ways of working and other things around this.
Sessions are fully remote at the moment. They are centred around European time zones, with flexibility depending on your schedule, especially when preparing for key moments such as a big trip and a more intensive schedule.
Bring film star quality to your English conversations.
(Not a sample lesson, a short call)
No grammar drills. No boring exercises. Just real conversations.
