BARRY KEOGHAN

Watch the video

March 14 something happened that I will remember for the rest of my life. I met Barry Keoghan.

On screen he is one of the coldest, most powerful villains I have ever watched. His characters feel quiet, dangerous, mysterious... the kind I can’t stop thinking about. I always admired how brave and real his acting feels.

But what touched me the most was who he is in real life... I never expected that someone who can play darkness so truthfully could be such a warm, kind, and heartfelt gentleman. In just a small moment, he made me feel seen, encouraged, and inspired.

I am only 12 years old and sometimes the dream of becoming a great actor feels very big and very far away. But that day... something changed inside me. It felt like a door opened in my heart. I understood that acting is not only about talent or fame. It is about being human. About feeling deeply. About giving light even when you can show darkness on screen....

Barry, you truly touched my heart and my soul. You inspired me more than you can imagine.

I left that meeting with stronger belief in myself and with a new promise, to work harder, to stay honest in my art, and to grow not only as an actor but as a person.

One day I hope our paths cross again. Not just for a hello, but on a film set, sharing a strong and meaningful scene together. Maybe even as rivals on screen... or I would play your son. That would be a dream.

Thank you for this unforgettable moment. Some days don’t just make memories... they shape future 🤍

ANA TUAZON PARSONS

'Jokes With JoySauce'

Some people leave an impression not because they speak the loudest, but because of the kindness, generosity, and sincerity they bring into a room.

Meeting Ana Tuazon Parsons was one of those moments for me.

I was deeply impressed not only by everything she has created, but by the way she shares her experience, with warmth, humility, and a genuine desire to help others grow. She was so open, encouraging, and willing to help me take my first steps into the world of stand-up and comedy. That generosity is something I won't forget.

The more I discover comedy, the more I realize that making people laugh is about much more than telling jokes. Laughter can bring hope, change someone's perspective, lighten a difficult day, or remind a person that joy still exists. I believe that is a real gift, and one of the most meaningful ways an artist can make the world a little better.

Thank you, Ana, for your wisdom, your kindness, and for believing in young dreamers. I left our conversation inspired—not only to become a better performer, but to become someone who brings more light into the lives of others.

JOSH CHARLES

It is pleasant to meet someone who is not only incredibly talented, but also so warm, kind, and genuinely generous with their time and wisdom. I felt welcomed from the very first moment and was inspired by the depth of his perspective and the amazing inner world he shared with us.

I'm leaving this experience feeling grateful, encouraged, and even more excited about this journey as an actor.

Thank you, Josh, for your kindness, your honesty, and for reminding me how powerful it is to lead with both talent and heart. It meant more to me than I can say.

DAVID DASTMALCHIAN

Attending David Dastmalchian's acting masterclass and having the opportunity to meet him and speak with him personally meant more to me than I can fully express.

What impressed me most wasn't only his incredible talent, but the strength, wisdom, and honesty he carries. Everything he shared came from a place of truth. His words weren't just about acting, they were about life, about believing in yourself, accepting who you are, and having the courage to keep moving forward even when the path is uncertain.

David, your words gave me confidence in my own voice and my own vision.
You reminded me that we don't have to become someone else to tell meaningful stories, we have to become more fully ourselves.

I want you to know that your encouragement has already changed something in me.
Because of you, I found the courage to begin writing and creating my very first short film. It's a story that means a great deal to me, and I don't know if I would have taken that first step without the inspiration you gave me.

Thank you for sharing not only your knowledge, but your heart. Thank you for reminding me that art has the power to heal, to connect people, and to help us understand ourselves a little better.

I hope one day our paths cross again. Until then, I'll keep creating, keep learning, and keep believing.
