Get Started

To get the most out of The SceneWorks Network, start by creating your member profile and choosing the category that best reflects your craft or career goals. From there, explore available courses, workshops, and coaching options to begin expanding your skills. Join your discipline’s private chat room to connect with like-minded professionals, ask questions, and build relationships. As you train, participate in both online and in-person opportunities, such as labs, coaching, affiliate studio sessions, and collaboration rooms. When you complete programs or produce work, share it through our showcases, festivals, or market access channels. The more you participate, the more your network, visibility, and opportunities grow.

To make the most of our training programs, browse available courses and workshops based on your craft, goals, or skill level. Start with foundational or refresher material, then move into labs and specialty classes to sharpen your edge. On-demand courses let you learn at your pace, while live workshops give you direct interaction with instructors and peers. Track your progress through badges and use each class as a networking opportunity. Many collaborations start inside these sessions.

Each discipline has its own private room where you can connect with others in your field without outside noise. Introduce yourself, share your work, ask questions, and stay active in ongoing conversations. Use the collaboration areas for crew calls, script swaps, casting needs, or forming production teams. These rooms function like professional circles and breakout departments on a real set. The more you engage, the more aligned opportunities will come your way.

Private coaching is the fastest way to accelerate your growth. Choose a coach based on your goals. Whether you’re developing performance skills, preparing for roles, improving leadership, or tackling technical challenges, one-on-one coaching gives you direct guidance, accountability, and personalized feedback to help you level up faster and with clarity. Sessions are personalized, practical, and results-driven. Use these opportunities and spaces to troubleshoot, rehearse, refine, and receive focused feedback you won’t get in regular group settings. It’s mentorship on your schedule, tailored to your craft.

If you’re ready to train in person, our Affiliate Studios offer workshops, labs, and production-based learning with real crews and equipment. These spaces act as physical extensions of the network and are ideal for hands-on training, rehearsals, camera work, set simulation, and small productions. You can attend intensives and partner with local filmmakers. It’s where online development meets real-world execution.

As a member, once you’ve created work and want to get it seen. you can use our festivals and showcases to gain visibility, receive feedback, and connect with industry eyes. Submit completed projects, scenes, shorts, reels, or works in progress for consideration. Highlighted projects may be promoted through the site, film festivals, distributors, or sales avenues. These opportunities convert development into visibility, helping members shift from skill-building to bookings and from production to distribution.

“A Serious Program for Serious Actors”

“Working with The SceneWorks Network has been one of the greatest experiences I had as a professional actor. During the workshops they focuses on you, your needs, your development and gets you ready to be a consistent working actor”. “You have to audition to get into the programs, which is good. It guarantees that all the actors you will be working with are knowledgeable and experienced. I highly recommend that every actor experience this program and workshop”.

Phillipe Simon, SAG/AFTRA/AEA

“A Network with Real Insight”

“The SceneWorks Network is truly one of a kind. Through this network I’ve worked with Joel Ulrick O’Neal, who is so incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to film and film making; he’s done his research and can pass his expertise along to you. As a director and coach, he is able to effectively pull out from an actor what the director needs. He is uniquely able to help you understand what a director is looking for since, well, he is one! He has a fascinating mind and a lot to teach”!

Jessica Miano Kruel

“Elevate Your Craft and Brand”

I worked with Joel O’Neal on the feature The Abstraction. If you’re looking to work with a pro, get real on-set experience, and walk away with strong footage that showcases your skill set, The SceneWorks Network is what you are looking for. I really enjoyed our collaborations and believe any actor would benefit from working on set with Joel and his network, he knows how to get the best out of you.

George Gallagher, SAG/AFTRA/AEA

“A Game-Changer for Working Actors”

Joel O Neal is a classic Filmmaker and Educator. I worked with him creating original scenes, that I use in my own marketing. Joel directed me in many scenes with insight, creativity and with the sensitivity to capture original moments. I highly recommend him and The SceneWorks Network.
