My A-list festival coaching puts actors in touch with directors, producers, and agents in personalized meetings from all over the world. It is based on a strategy of pre-booking 1:1 meetings by getting into specific festival databases before the festival even begins. My main focus is Cannes, Berlinale, TIFF, and Gothenburg, but these strategies can be applied to all festivals.
l’ve worked with actors in over 16 countries such as the US, Canada, UK, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Ukraine, Argentina, India, Israel, and Greece. I’ve helped change the outcome of their career and festival experiences by putting them in control of their results. The actors I have coached feel greater empowerment while attending A-list festivals, are cast by international directors, acquire producers for their own projects, and sign with new agencies within 45 days of attending my programs. Let’s get you launched!

SHOOT WITH CARLA
Are you an actor with a pilot or feature film and you want to approach a competent and award-winning director? Look no further I am here!
“Working with Carla as a festival coach is an absolute delight and eye-opening experience. She gives an overview of the film festival landscape and how best to work from your own unique perspective and strengths, which provides ways to move forward and opens up unexpected possibilities. Practical and strategic, she empowers you to find your own path and gives you the tools to actually make it happen.“
Claudia Winfield, Switzerland
Testimonials
“In her workshop, the director Carla B. Guttmann skillfully managed to shed light on my current career situation. Even for actors who are already skilled at moving through German film festivals, this cultural analysis allows them to open their eyes beyond the German borders to other paths. She manages to provide the participant with strategies that can be tailored to their own personality and a step in the right direction. Without judging, she gives feedback on existing film reel material and encourages you to listen more closely to what exactly you want as an artist.”
Sylvia Mayer, Germany
“When I sent a top agent in the UK my About Me, he told me he had never seen such a powerful presentation video in his career. This was a script that I worked on with Carla including a one hour rehearsal, perfecting the text before I shot it on my own. With Carla, you will acquire that extra edge of recognition, and I couldn’t recommend this workshop enough!”
Maria Jones, Sweden
“Your workshop today was incredibly helpful. I love going to film festivals just because I love the art, the networking, the fellowship, and quite honestly the partying; but now, after your workshop, I feel that I have a really focused way to approach them and get the most out of my time and money at these festivals! I really think this is going to be a gamechanger for my career. Thank you SO so much!!”
