Film and Television Workshops and Training

Mass Media and Communication Department at the University of Balamand in collaboration with Globe University Guidance and Career Counselling Program are working on a

bridging program between university and high school and we hope you find this program of interest.

We are offering a variety of workshops in Media, Film and Acting for Film and Television. These can be tailored and customized to your students needs. We recommend offering them as weekend workshop for each high school (junior and senior class) at the University of Balamand Campus.

The workshop cost will be fully covered by the university we can even offer buses for transport if your school requires it. We ask you to nominate 15 to 20 students from your senior class as well as 10th and 11the grade (the graduating classes) from any of your programs: high school, IB, or Lebanese Baccalaureate Program.

The Workshops will be offered by Mrs. Krystle Houiess who has just returned from advanced acting training in Hollywood with Stella Adler as well as Actors Studio in the UK and various other film training schools. Mrs. Houiess has various International Awards in Acting and Directing for Film.

The workshop we strongly recommend would be: Acting for Film and Television: this is very in demand and builds confidence among students as well as trains them a skill much needed in life.

Other workshops could be: Screenwriting, Introduction to Media and Film, Journalism and Broadcast Journalism, Film and Aesthetics … We can offer these over weekends or if they are short duration (2 to 3 hours) then we can offer them at your school during weekdays.

We strongly believe that this will be an excellent opportunity for the students to gain experience as well as learn about the field and the major. We have a limited number of teachers available to schedule during the fall and spring terms so we hope to hear from you soon in order to arrange for your schools workshop.
