For Chloe Guy, the age of 15 has been nothing if not memorable.
So far in 2021, the young actress has overcome an on-set injury, been announced as the youth winner of the Carmen Duncan Scholarship, and begun shooting a film in Mexico.
The international production is her focus for the moment, with the teenager honing her craft alongside Jamie Foxx, January Jones, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in Nick Cassavetes’ upcoming crime thriller God is a Bullet.
Guy plays the kidnapped daughter of vice detective Bob Hightower (Coster-Waldau), who ends up quitting the police force and confronting the satanic cult responsible for taking his child and murdering his ex-wife.
Cassavetes adapted the script from Boston Teran’s novel of the same name.
With this being her largest role to date, Guy described her experience on set as being part of “one massive family”.
“All the cast and crew take very good care of me,...

Emerging and aspiring actors looking to launch into the next phase of their careers are being encouraged to apply for this year’s American Arts Film and Television Academy (Aafta) Carmen Duncan Scholarship.
Named after the late Australian actress and activist, the initiative offers a path to the US market for acting talent via targeted packages worth more than Usd$25,000.
They include online and in-person training on various aspects of the industry, as well as help with visas and immigration services.
Duncan blazed a trail for Australian actors in the US during the ’80s, portraying Iris Carrington Wheeler on the daytime soap opera Another World, a role for which she was honoured not only with nominations for the Soap Opera Awards but also an Emmy nomination.
She passed away in February 2019 at the age of 76 after a battle with gynaecological cancer.
This will be the third year the scholarship has been run,...

Los Angeles- based The Australian Film & Television Academy (Tafta) is introducing two new programs later this year, one designed to coach teenage actors, the other involving workshops with top casting directors.
In another innovation, the Academy is opening its La Experience course, which started several years ago to enable Australian actors to display their skills to managers, talent agents and casting directors, to international students from around the globe.
The Teen La Experience will run twice a year, based on the La Experience but condensed to 10 days and aimed at teens aged 12-17 years.
The Casting Director Intensive (Cdi) workshops will enable actors to sharpen their audition and cold reading skills and time management over two days in six individual sessions with six different casting directors, including David Rapaport and Lyndsey Baldasare.
Founded by John Orcsik in 1994, Tafta is dedicated to teaching and helping develop the craft of acting in...

The Australian beachhead in Los Angeles is growing, with an actors’ training program based Down Under set to expand. The Australian Film & Television Academy (Tafta), founded by actors John Orcsik and Paula Duncan, has for several years operated a training program that brought Aussie actors to L.A. for a 10-week immersion. Beginning in September it will open its doors in a new location with an expanded course list that caters, in part, to local talent. The school is part of a growing Australian presence in Los Angeles. The recently formed Australian Theatre Company just completed a successful run of “Holding the Man,” a play that was produced in part with a successful crowdfunding campaign. The company expanded its appeal beyond expat Aussies, and Tafta is hoping for the same success. Los Angeles has no shortage of actors’ training programs, but none offer the kind of Australian rigor and frankness of Tafta,...
