THE FILM SET PROTOCOL™

The Film Set Protocol™ is designed to bridge the gap between an acting student or an inexperienced but talented actor and a professional working actor. In today’s film industry, knowing how to act is only part of the knowledge required. Understanding how a professional film set operates, the rules of the environment, and how to work effectively on set is what completes the package and makes you employable.

This program teaches actors the critical knowledge required to navigate a professional production environment with confidence and competence.

You’ll learn the unspoken rules of on-set behavior, how to work within the production hierarchy, communicate effectively with directors and assistant directors, and execute technical requirements such as hitting marks, maintaining eyelines, and adapting to camera movement. From interpreting call sheets to understanding rehearsal flow and on-set terminology, every aspect is covered to ensure you are prepared, reliable, employable, and respected.

Developed by Actor, Writer, Director, and Producer Gian Franco Tordi in collaboration with leading Hollywood and international industry professionals, including casting directors, first ADs, second ADs, and Oscar-winning producers and directors, this training reflects real-world expectations.

The Film Set Protocol™ transforms actors into trusted assets, ready to contribute to a production’s workflow and success through know-how, professionalism, reliability, and confidence, both on and off camera.
