ACTING RETREATS FOR WOMEN

Stop waiting for your "big break."

Most people freeze the moment the camera turns on. The women who leave this retreat? They lean in. There’s a version of you that was made for the screen. We’re just going to introduce you to her.

– WHO IS THIS FOR –

For the actor who's done waiting to be chosen.

You have the talent. You have the passion. What you don’t have is enough opportunity. Enough camera time, enough credits, enough people in your corner who actually believe in you.

These retreats exist because that gap is real, and it doesn’t have to stop you anymore. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been grinding for years, there is an experience here designed for exactly where you are.

You don’t need an agent to show up. You don’t need a perfect reel or resume. You just need to say yes.

Three immersive acting retreats from your first real day on camera, to filming a feature film with an IMDb credit. Every experience is intimate, intentional, and designed to give you what the industry never has: a real shot.

The Bright Stars Greenroom was born from a woman’s vision, but our Acting Retreats are built for every performer who is ready to show up, be seen, and leave with a real IMDb credit.

Men. Women. Everyone in between. If you have a story to tell, you belong here.

The beginner who hasn’t started yet:

You feel the pull but don’t know where to begin. The Greenroom Workshop is your door in. No experience required, no judgment, just real coaching and real camera time.

The trained actor who needs credits:

You’ve done the classes. You have the skills. What you need is actual IMDb credits and demo footage, and The Crypt of Fear delivers exactly that.

The serious actor ready to invest:

You’re done dabbling. You want a feature film, headshots, demo reel footage, and the mindset work to go use all of it. The Feature Film VIP is built for you.

The burned-out creative who needs a reset:

The rejection has taken its toll. You need to remember why you love this. Every retreat includes mindset coaching because craft without confidence only gets you so far.

– TIER ONE | ENTRY EXPERIENCE –

Limited to 8–12 women per workshop. Everyone gets camera time and everyone gets seen. That’s non-negotiable.

– THE ENTRY EXPERIENCE –

The Greenroom Workshop

Your first real day on camera. Your first real step.

his is where it begins. One full day of real on-camera experience. Not a class, not a lecture, but an actual immersive workshop where you step in front of a camera, take direction, and discover what you’re capable of.

You’ll work on real scenes, get real feedback, and leave with professional headshots and the kind of confidence that comes from actually doing the thing, not just thinking about it.

No experience required. No audition. Just show up ready to work, and be surprised by what you can do.kjjbv

WHAT’S INCLUDED

– TIER TWO | THE UNIQUE ONE –

– THE ONE OF A KIND EXPERIENCE –

The Crypt of Fear Horror Retreat

Act in a real horror TV series. Earn your IMDb credit.

This is not a class. This is not a simulation. You will act in a real horror segment for The Crypt of Fear – a produced TV series created by Robert Massetti and Shannon Scott. You will be on a real set with a real crew, real direction, and a real camera pointed at your face.

And when your episode releases? Your name goes on IMDb. That’s a credit you can put on your resume, your reel, and your next audition for the rest of your career.

We keep this retreat to 6–8 actors maximum because on a real production, every actor needs a real role. There are no extras here. No wallflowers. Every person on set has a moment that matters.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Strictly limited to 6–8 actors per shoot. A real production has real roles. Everyone on set has a scene that matters. No exceptions.

TIER THREE | ALL-INCLUSIVE VIP

Capped at 10–14 actors. Waitlist only. This retreat is built months in advance. Every actor gets a real role.

– THE ALL-INCLUSIVE FEATURE FILM EXPERIENCE –

The Feature Film VIP Retreat

Film a feature. Earn your credit. Transform your journey.

This is the one you’ve been building toward. Over multiple days you will film a real feature film. With a real script, real roles, a real director, and a real crew. Not a short. Not a scene study. A feature film.

You’ll leave with an IMDb credit, a professional headshot session, demo reel footage from the film, BTS social media footage, and the kind of industry connections that take most actors years to build. All while being supported by Shannon’s mindset coaching and Toni Deckers’ sound healing throughout.

Nothing to think about. Everything taken care of. Accommodation, meals, every experience, all included. You just show up and do the work you were born to do.

EVERYTHING THAT’S INCLUDED

– YOUR MENTOR & HOST –

Shannon Scott

Actor. Certified Life Coach. Retreat Creator.

Shannon has spent her career in performance: film, TV, voiceover, and beyond. She knows the rejection. The waiting. The quiet grief of being talented and overlooked. She built these retreats because she needed them and they didn’t exist.

Every retreat she creates carries that intention. Real experience. Real coaching. Real community. Not because it sounds good, but because it’s what every struggling actor actually needs.

They showed up. And left different..

“The entire weekend was life changing.”

I was totally blown away by how much I learned in the workshop. The entire crew treated me like I was a star. From helping behind the scenes to taking on-screen roles, I learned so much. Even the more seasoned attendees seemed to grow. I will definitely do this again. This retreat has something for everyone.

“A must for anyone wanting to upgrade their skills and confidence.”

My acting abilities have greatly improved. The venue was unbelievable, everyone was professional, and Shannon's attention to every detail was evident. I acted in a movie, received real education, and had a great time. The industry is constantly changing. Keeping current is a must, and this retreat delivers exactly that.

Bright Stars Greenroom is a must for actors as well as any individual wanting to develop their confidence and creative skills. This isn't just for performers, it's for anyone who wants to feel more alive, more expressive, and more like themselves.

ACTING RETREAT ATTENDEE

“The educational experience was worth every penny.”

The venue was beautiful, the food was fantastic, and what I took away stayed with me long after I went home. This is the kind of experience you don't find anywhere else. It's rare, it's real, and it's completely worth it. I left feeling seen, nourished, and inspired.

– QUESTIONS ANSWERED –

Everything you need to say yes.

Do I need acting experience to attend?

For The Greenroom Workshop, absolutely not. Zero experience required. You just need the desire to try. For Crypt of Fear and The Feature Film VIP, some comfort in front of a camera is helpful but not mandatory. A Discovery Call will help us figure out the right fit for you.

What exactly is The Crypt of Fear?

The Crypt of Fear is a produced horror TV series by Robert Massetti and Shannon Scott. When you attend the Horror Retreat, you will act in a real segment of the show. Not a student film, not a simulation. A real production. Upon the episode's release, your name is submitted for an IMDb credit.

Is the IMDb credit guaranteed?

For the Feature Film VIP - yes, guaranteed upon film completion. For Crypt of Fear, your credit is submitted upon episode release.

Why are the groups so small?

Because real on-set experience requires real roles, and a set can only support so many actors at once. We will never oversell a retreat just to fill seats. The cap exists so that every single woman gets meaningful camera time. Not just a walk-on moment, but a real scene she can be proud of.

How do payment plans work?

A non-refundable deposit holds your spot the moment you commit and are accepted into your retreat of choice. The remaining balance can be split into installments based on the retreat date. We work with you! Just ask on your Discovery Call and we'll find a plan that works.

What if I have a disability or accessability needs?

Please reach out before booking. We are committed to making every retreat as accessible as possible and will work with you personally to ensure your experience is safe, supported, and meaningful.

What's your refund policy?

The deposit is non-refundable as it holds your spot and covers planning costs. For the remaining balance, refunds are available up to 30 days before the retreat date. Within 30 days, we offer a credit toward a future retreat. Full details are provided at booking.
