Randall Paul founded Portland Film Actors Studio in 2012 realizing the need for actors to work for the camera in a real production environment. Although there are many film schools in the United States. PFAS is possibly one of the most effective and energized learning venues offered as it centers its formats on real world production requirements and sets the stage from the beginning on what it takes to be a professional in this industry. It is my belief this can not be taught by university graduates and no degree can replace the real world experience that we instill in everything we do at PFAS. The programs we put together are from years of study and detailed analysis collectively from the PFAS team. Our members of the studio even the most seasoned have complimented us on how thorough and our approach is when it comes to our production formats and how effective the learning experience is..  The Member actors and crew members have shot almost 300 scenes since September 2012.

Having done many classes and workshops in the last few years working with a variaty of people I have found nothing that compares to the level of  practical working experience to be gained at the studio. Every time I come, I come away with something new I can apply! Plus the wonderful experience of being around such a welcoming group as these people are! Drawn together by a mutual love of the craft and desire to improve our skills there is no attitude no one is standoffish just a genuine support of each other and as each individual grows the group see's it as victory. Randall has done an amazing thing with creating an opertunity to just work and work it out. As the actors gain time in front of the camera in a low stakes environment, they foster the ability to be comfortable there, and there by learn to just "be" and work like a pro. As the crew practices week after week they gain hours upon hours of precious experience that translates into really knowing there stuff! The Studio is the place to be!
