Press release from: PrimaDonna Productions

WHAT: Continuing in its mission of promoting and advancing the interests of the Texas film industry, the Texas Motion Picture Alliance (TXMPA) has joined forces with actor, comedian, and Latin pop star – Jade Esteban Estrada (a Texas native) – to present a new workshop for actors, “The Reel Deal with Jade Esteban Estrada: Part 1”

WHEN: Saturday, April 12 from 10AM – 5PM

WHERE: PrimaDonna Productions - 8603 Crownhill Blvd., (near the Magic Time Machine)

DETAILS: “The Reel Deal with Jade Esteban Estrada: Part 1” is part of a series of acting workshops conducted by industry professionals from across the state to benefit the TXMPA. In this particular workshop, students will work on-camera, learning not only the basic craft and techniques of acting, but also how to develop a character through physical movement, as well as the technical demands of on-camera acting. The workshop will be led by Jade Esteban Estrada, a veteran of stage and screen who calls San Antonio home.

As a singer, music from Jade’s CD, “Angel” has appeared on the award-winning series The Shield, and as a screen actor, his credits include recent appearances in the Emmy award-winning series 30 Rock and Friday Night Lights. According to Nikki Young, South Texas Regional Representative for TXMPA, “we asked Jade to conduct this type of class, because Jade is truly a working actor and has been a mentor to many; moreover he understands the importance of what the TXMPA is all about and why it is important that actors stay on top of their game so when the big projects come in town, they will be ready!” Estrada adds, “Whether you’re auditioning, or whether you’re already booked, there’s a very specific set of skills both internal and external that one needs to know when you’re working on camera. And I’m proud to be working with TXMPA to share these essential tools, which will ultimately show production companies all over, who want to come to film in Texas, that Texas has got some “reel” talent (which of course we already knew)!”

“The Reel Deal with Jade Esteban Estrada: Part 2” will take place in November and will focus on the business side of show business. From getting an agent to online auditions.
