"I started doing screen workshops with Annie as a teenager and still always relish the chance to have a refresher class when in town. Whilst on tour in Perth with 'Wicked' the musical, a group of my fellow cast members and I had a wonderful and insightful time brushing up on our screen acting skills with a tailor-made series of workshops Annie put together and taught us."

"I reckon PAC Screen Workshops are essential for directors to spot and work with a whole heap of the up and coming Perth acting talent. The workshops serve as great practice for sharpening your skills as a director without the normal pressures that can distract you when you are shooting for real. You can try out all your crazy ideas which you're not completely sure about, as a test run."

"Not only were PAC Screen Workshops my introduction to filmmaking, but almost a decade on, I still regularly collaborate with several filmmakers & actors I met in the workshops, whom I now call my closest friends, including my film partner, Stevie Cruz-Martin. PAC Screen Workshops create such an incredible space to experiment, learn & grown within a supportive community of like-minded peers. I would heartily recommend the workshops to all emerging filmmakers and actors."

"I remember sitting in my first PAC class with sweaty palms... However, I realised very quickly that I'd found the safest place to begin to play. Working with Annie made me realise that acting is a profession to be proud of. She made me see that if I was to commit to a life of being an actor I must never stop practicing my craft."

"I came out of PAC Workshops feeling inspired. It's amazing, you know... I attended the workshops fairly constantly for over 5 years and I kept learning stuff that I know made me a better filmmaker."

"PAC Screen Workshops provide the most vibrant meeting & learning place for WA's independent filmmakers that I know. By participation in the now legendary courses, I was opened to many techniques upon which I continue to base my directorial approach. If Annie ran them here in London or Mumbai, I'd still go! They're superb!"

"I loved the classes so much that when I was back in Perth again, I went to Annie for some private lessons to help me with the next role I was to play in a musical. Annie makes you feel safe, comfortable, and not afraid to try anything. She has such a wealth of knowledge and understanding for the craft, so I was soaking it all up like a sponge."
