What families say

“Matt is amazing! He really pushes you to go outside of your comfort zone to explore sides of a character you haven’t thought to before. He helps you to see things from a new perspective so you can find your authentic self in a character.” — DANIELLE MACDONALD

“I want to say a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart. You sparked something that I’m not sure you are aware of. Long story short, I just got cast in ‘The Hunger Games'‘ and it’s all thanks to God and what happened in that workshop. Everything happens for a reason and your initial enthusiasm sparked all this.” — DAYO OKENIYI
