The I.F.A. can rightly lay claim to many things but it’s unique nugget is the ‘drop in’ somewhat family like atmosphere that Rachel and Co have created. I can wholeheartedly recommend it.
Robert O’Brien ( Adult Acting For Film )
What makes the school so special are the people. Teachers like Rachel Sarah Murphy and Terry McMahon push and encourage you to be the best that you can be. This can be hard and stressful but in the end it is worth it. Ultimately the I.F.A. is more than a school, it is a family and they never close the door on any of their members.”
Hannah Foley ( Teen Irish Film Academy )
Honestly, I truly loved the course all of the different techniques built up my confidence greatly. I enjoyed going to the Saturday morning classes every week. It’s one of the best things to ever happen to me.

The time and money I have spent in doing the Acting for Film Course in the Irish Film Academy has been singularly the best investment I have made in my pursuit of an Acting Career.
Donna Boileau ( Film-maker )
I started this course as a complete novice…..and after only eight weeks i feel competent in all aspects of filmmaking.

“Rachael Sarah Murphy has accomplished something truly remarkable in the founding of ‘The Irish Film Academy’.
Niamh O’Brien ( Adult Acting )
Being part of the Academy has really been one of the best gifts I’ve ever experienced, I feel inspired, recharged and re-energized and feel that truly anything is possible when you take action on your deepest hearts dreams.”

“I studied for over 7 years in two of Ireland’s best universities but it was not until I came to learn acting at the Irish Film Academy that I first experienced and understood what it is like to learn from teachers who inspired, truely challenged, cared for and (I believe) made every student want to keep trying to do better.
