The Boiler Room

The Boiler Room combines screenwriting, and on-camera acting workshops.  The concept seeks to create a  holistic workspace where writers can act, and actors can offer direction — thereby nurturing, developing, and encouraging a collective. 

From script to screen.

Emphasis of the Boiler Room is about building an inclusive collective while becoming more comfortable writing and acting for the camera.  But the  Boiler Room is also about giving artists a chance to share their voice, broaden their skills, and offer their insight for each other to grow by. Ultimately, Boiler Room is about people working together to create compelling stories, characters, and films.

The Boiler Room is where it all begins, together.

The Boiler Room is currently on hiatus with plans to come back online in 2023 with the help MiTribe Media. We’ll potentially be hosting weekly workshops at MiTribe Studio, so please stay tuned for updates or reach out with any questions.
