About Amalia Remus

Not a teacher on a high horse, in the thick of it with you

I moved to Queenstown from Auckland in 2023 with a simple observation: this city is becoming one of New Zealand's most exciting filming locations, and its actors deserve a serious place to train. I bring real industry experience into every class: credits on Shortland Street, Double Parked and 10+ productions, and 80 weeks of Meisner training under prominent US coach Michael Saccente.
