Hi, I'm Steve. I am ACT 2 CAM's Producer. I have worked as an actor and director for 20 years. I graduated from Central School of Speech and Drama in 1999 and have extensive experience training young actors.

My influences are Stanislavsky, Brecht, Grotowski, Artaud, Beckett, Shakespeare, Leigh… the list really does go on! I really love to get actively involved, and make sure I visit all the ACT 2 CAM centres on a regular basis, to meet our new members and see the films being created

Hi I'm Louise. I am the Secretary of ACT 2 CAM. I am the office manager and carry out the majority of administrative duties in the company. I am an accredited interviewer and qualified in psychometric testing and child safeguarding.

I enjoy meeting all of the young people on the ACT 2 CAM courses, and also parents when they come to the premieres of our films

Hello there! I'm Trefor, a professional photographer with over 10 years experience in creating portfolios for models, dancers and actors. You can see my pictures on the gallery of this website.

I love spontaneous photographs, which capture the personality in action. I like to frame the picture using the camera (none of my photos are cropped). Here's a tip for you—never chose your own headshot; aways ask a friend to pick one for you. They may not pick the one you like most, but they will pick the one most like you!

Hi I'm Libby, and I was brought up in Gloucestershire, where my love of theatre began at a very early age. I studied Drama and Theatre at Royal Holloway, University of London.

I have worked as a production runner on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as their Production Runner where I got my first taste for the film industry. I trained in Drama at Reading University, and now work as a Drama teacher. I really enjoy working on the ACT 2 CAM Summer residentials. They are an amazing experience!

Hi, I‘m Melissa. I‘m a Drama and Theatre practitioner working in the West Midlands. I have my own theatre company called Needless Allies Theatre Collective and am interested in creating work in historical, unconventional and disused sites.

I am inspired by work which is physical and movement based with the audience at the heart of the action. I also really enjoy working alongside young people and like to encourage them to reach their creative potential. I work on the ACT 2 CAM residentials and I am always by the energy and creativity that young people bring to their work.

My name is Roger and I own the film company, Studio LAX. I run the workshops in Harrogate, Leeds and York. I love gangster films and sci-fi films, and I am influenced by the work of “Beat” Takeshi, a Japanese actor and film–maker.

I enjoy working with young people and teaching them film making techniques.

I have just graduated from college with first class honours in film-making. You can take a look at my showreel here.

I began working with ACT 2 CAM on their Victorian Big Brother project, where we spent 3 days filming in a Victorian mansion. Every shoot is different and I love the challenges each new situation brings.
