Politics is a dirty game, and nobody plays it better than a man in a suit with a smile on his face.
In our Introduction to Acting for Film class last Saturday, Christian and Reef delivered a masterclass in tension.
Christian as the sleek politician… terrifying. 
You didn’t play “the bad guy.” You played a man with absolute power. You were calm, you were charming, and then you dropped that line—”I will bury you”—without even blinking. That is what makes a performance menacing.

Absolutely believable.
Film acting is about what you don’t show. The threat wasn’t in the shouting; it was in the stillness.
A massive thank you to our videography dream team, Guy and Tee, for capturing this cinematic standoff. The lighting, the angles, the edit—top tier work!
Alan Rickman said, “I don’t play villains, I play very interesting people.” Christian, you were certainly interesting (and scary!).
Great job, gentlemen.
