The first team foundation is a professional, film, training center for actors and directors specializing in acting on camera (ICFT). We also offer a diversity of activities and professional services for the cinema and TV industry.

Our innovative teaching includes what a beginning actor needs to know to work in front of the camera. For the seasoned actor first team is a challenging lab and a place to practice. Directors learn how to communicate better with actors, from the point of view of the actor.
