This past May, JDS Video & Media Productions celebrated an anniversary milestone; 10 successful years in business. On the Production front we have been keeping ourselves busy. January through June we worked with Abbott Vascular, Creating Content and Producing their 90 minute Live Customer Appreciation Event that is presented both in Temecula and Northern California. We have also been working with the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce. Currently we are creating a video series for their Etiquette Professional Development workshop and here is the link to the Power Networking Video we did this spring. We are also very excited about the web series Good Day Temecula that we are producing for The City of Temecula. Click here for the newest release episode on Parks and Recreation.

JDS Actors Studio

When we are not creating video content we are inspiring Toddlers, Children, Teens and Adults through creative enrichment and learning the Craft of Acting. Scott Strand’s “Truth in Acting” coaching style gives actors of all ages a strong sense of self, utilizing a healthy Mind, Body and Spirit to project emotional and physical action into the portrayal of any character. Actors learn to make strong choices that are grounded in the text of the script yet not limited by anything – but the actors own imagination.

We have been very successful in helping Actors learn the entertainment industry and succeed in “Breaking In”. We are very proud of the talent that has developed in our studio. Our Actors that we have assisted in launching their careers are achieving great heights. Massiah Video Testimonial Corinne Massiah has been consistently working as an actor since going through our industry workshop and she is currently contracted as “Lucy” (one of the Lead’s Daughter) on ABC’s Mistresses, which just got renewed for next season. We are proud to say that we have assisted over 35 actors break into the entertainment industry, as well as over 300 learn the craft of acting which provides self confidence and leadership skills.
