A message from Director, Jaret Martino.

Thus far I've spent my life in the Entertainment Industry as an Actor and the last decade Producing Films that help create awareness for 

subjects deserving attention.

​

I've partnered with Love Wins Productions, a full service Production/ Distribution company, which also is home to The Love Wins and Voices Rising Film Festivals. 

​

The latest Feature Film, DONNA: Stronger Than Pretty is now streaming everywhere you buy and rent movies in 65 countries! ​

​

 Yet I felt there was a piece of my Artists journey missing, and so ACTION! Acting Studios was established in 2021.

​

Turning pain into positive is what drives me, and empowering our youth to realize their full potential is so exciting to me!

Growing up I was fortunate to have some of the Industry's well known coaches as mentors, and received an extensive education from top programs. Including Larry Moss, The Lee Strasberg Institute, Gary Austin (The Groundlings Founder), Elizabeth Kemp (Actors Studio/Bradley Cooper's coach).  

However through that same time there were some shrewd "gurus" who should have never been working with young minds, or anyone for that matter.  

Looking back on those experiences, I am grateful that today I am able to utilize and transmute, and now put great effort into helping shape Artists that wish to pursue the business. 

​

It's so important that a system is built that is based in core values, confidence, and ways to empower one self.  Freedom of Artistic expression should be valued and guarded. Artists are often vulnerable because of the level of the way feelings are experienced.  Understanding the power of media, while being rooted in approaching the work humbly is such a gentle and important balance. One that takes years of sacrifice, dedication and determination.
