The Regina Acting Collective
The Regina Acting Collective is a group designed to provide an outlet for actors and actresses to practice their craft for the purpose of professional acting in film and television productions.
The Regina Acting Collective was founded by Jared Feuring in 2022 as a free resource for the betterment of actors in the Regina film community. The lack of opportunities to practice acting is what drove the creation of the group. For years our local actors have gotten the majority of their experience “on the job”, so to speak. Participating in productions where their first time acting was in front of the camera.
Our goal is to refine acting ability and to create opportunities in film and television for our small, but growing professional acting community. To allow actors to experience different genres and scenarios in a comfortable, low pressure environment with other like-minded individuals.
In 2023 we opened up the group to directors, producers, casting agents and other members of the film community to break down the barriers between roles on sets and behind film production. Give directors more chances to direct and converse with actors and vice versa, give actors a less formal opportunity to interact with writers/directors and other members of the community.
