Testimonials
I’m so happy I decided to follow my dreams and go to VFS. The instructors push you to your best potential and treat you like professionals. My cohort became my family and I learned to be confident, make bold decisions, trust my scene partner, and most importantly to not be afraid of failure! I was working on set right after graduation; it was so easy because I knew exactly what to do. If I could do the year all over again, I would! Thank you VFS!

VFS gave me a taste of all the different things you might find yourself exploring in an acting career. You get to dabble in so many areas of our art. Classes are practical and allow you to meet a plethora of passionate teachers and mentors. The program helps build a network of artists around you through collaboration with students from other programs. My year at VFS was full one, but gave me the confidence to say acting is what I want to do with my life.

“P’tit Tremblay,”Menteur , and “Reverie”
VFS helped me grow and develop more than just my craft but my confidence, social skills, and empathy. I learned how to connect with my emotions and live every moment. I’m so grateful for my mentors and peers I can now call my friends and family. The school always pushed me out of my comfort zone, but maintained a safe space. One paragraph isn’t enough to describe how wonderful my time was. I’m proud to be among the artists who’ve trained at VFS.

I loved everything about Vancouver Film School. Every single teacher brought their authentic self, and their truthfulness, care, and support helped me grow as a person and also as an actor. Their curriculum is very up to date; they cover all aspects of acting and being creative. I am very grateful for everyone at school and the experience they gave me.
