About Us
A Lifetime of Acting
Executive Director - Jared Broxterman
I began my acting career as a teenager in Ronan, Montana. After high school, I moved to Los Angeles to chase my dreams. Once there, I learned the ins and outs of film, how to audition, how casting works and Hollywood film acting techniques. I was lucky enough to be cast in over 20 television shows, from Big Bang Theory, Yellowstone, Shameless, NCIS L.A., working side by side with big names, to being cast as Westley Moore on NCIS season 16 and Hawaii Five 0. I am a local Missoulian and love helping others. Using my experience I want to teach other Montanans how to be a professional actor and safely navigate their career. With Film acting classes near me, it makes learning much easier.
A Lifetime of Teaching
Co-Founder, Cammy Maughan
Simply put, performance is in my blood. From the age of three I have been singing, dancing and performing. Whether on the stage of the Miss Montana pageant, in area theaters, singing with an orchestra, recording on the radio or in an audio book; performing is my passion. I taught drama for 5 years and studied film making in Phoenix, Arizona. One of my greatest thrills as a film actor is when I am able to influence someone's emotions. Whether it's making them laugh, cry or boo me because I was an awesome villain, it's all good. Helping you fine-tune your skills as a performer is my number one goal in our acting classes & casting.
