What is ASTA?
ASTA is one stop shopping for action filmmakers. Industry professionals will have your information at their finger tips 24 hours a day and you will enjoy working with some of the biggest names in the film business. AFA is a great resource for beginers and even established actors to develop and have their on-screen fighting skills. We are trying our best through this training to build more action and drama into the home video productions. But we are daily doing our best to change the present face of movie quality by inculcating into actors and actresses how to produce effects.
How well have these ideas been received by the professionals?
Well we are trying to encourage actors and actresses, especially the upcoming ones to embrace our training to sharpen their acting skills. For example, most of them do train with us. We help talents find work. Most of the actors come on training sessions to perfect some script effects - those involving physical fight or judo or karate which will add effect to their productions. We are also trying to perfect the kind of picture/and effects you see in Hollywood movies so that movies can be thrilling. And when you talk of the big-time marketers and sponsors, well their areas are quite different from ours. They are doing their own business. So, the question of their sponsoring actors/actresses in our training is their own discretion, but we are trying to get them to appreciate that these skills are essential for actors and actresses.
