Testimonials

“The workshop was amazing. Intense and amazing. Flavio is incredibly pedagogical, flexible and socially competent. He knows how to connect with other people, how to make people understand what he is saying as well as listening to what other people have to say without sounding condescending. A good teacher. He used several examples that are easily understood and digestible for the brain. The importance of simplicity is also taught along with many other principles. I took his workshop because I wanted to explore a darker and more “serious” side of my acting rather than going for the comedic route, and that man really brought out something in me that I did not know I had. His directing and guidance made me feel so comfortable that it, under several moments in the workshop, made me feel things I have not felt before. Everyone was very understanding of everyone's differences and that made the workshop a safe space. Highly recommended workshop for anyone who wants to grow for real and re-ignite the flame for their passion!”

“It was a great weekend. I learned a lot about directing improvised scenes, like what to clarify beforehand with the actors, how to direct during the scene, and a lot more. He is a great teacher with a sense of humor that matched every student. He is really good at connecting with people and explaining the topic in a way that everyone gets it. It was a pleasure learning from you and working with you and the other students. If there is a slot, get it. I totally recommend it.”

“Working with Flavio was an incredible experience. As a brilliant director and teacher, he has a unique intuition for pushing students out of their comfort zones in the most empowering way. This workshop completely shifted my perspective on the nuances of acting and directing. What struck me most was Flavio's ability to unlock a performer’s potential. I watched him take a short walk with a fellow student just before a performance, and the transformation was stunning. He managed to bring out a level of raw, hidden talent that left us all speechless. Beyond the craft, I met a community of amazing artists and left feeling truly inspired.”

“I have no experience of acting and directing but I really wanted to try it and get more comfortable with being ‘visible’, both for my job as a journalist and other creative projects. I ended up having so much fun at Flavio’s workshop and feeling very inspired! I thought it was a great mix of theory, discussion and practical exercises. The group was very supportive and I never felt out of place even though others had a lot more experience. Would recommend if you’d like to get out of your comfort zone, meet inspiring people, learn a lot and have fun!”

Rachel, March 2026

“I had no idea what to expect before I went to the space. Flavio created a very authentic and wholesome experience for all of us. I believe he is a great teacher, as I felt that in just two days I learnt so much! There was a great balance of theory and practical exercises. I feel very inspired for my own projects and I would definitely do another one soon. It was both fun and powerful. I felt comfortable and safe to express my creative parts and for that I will always be grateful for this experience.”

Marceline, March 2026

“I'm writing this testimonial while the impression of Flavio's workshop is still fresh in my mind. In just two days, Flavio provided us with a vast and refreshing repertoire of tools and insights that I'm sure will resonate with me for a long time. Rather than just ticking boxes, he was deeply interested in how the whole group would apply the ‘improvisation filmmaking’ vision to our expectations and previous knowledge. This workshop has given me, as an actor, a burst of creativity and confidence!”

Sebastião, March 2026

“My impression of Flavio’s workshop after two intense days has been nothing short of inspiring. The energy of the workshop stayed with me for days afterward, and it made me look at acting with a fresher perspective that pushed me to explore new directions. Flavio is deeply involved with the participants and always has an open ear, making an effort to understand and adapt the workshop to the group’s needs. It’s a great way to reconnect with acting, and definitely an opportunity to turn it into a meaningful learning experience, if you’re open to it.”

Yllka, February 2026

“I just attended Flavio’s two-day film improv workshop, and it was nothing short of incredible. From the first moment, Flavio creates a truly special environment, one of trust, fun, and boundless creativity. What sets Flavio apart is the palpable care and infectious enthusiasm he pours into his teaching. He is remarkably sensitive and attentive, dedicating himself wholly to each participant’s journey. I left the workshop feeling inspired, energized, and full of new ideas. Thank you, Flavio, for this truly transformative experience!”

Giuseppe, January 2026

“I am writing this review just a day after taking Flavio's powerful weekend workshop. A couple of months ago, I had committed myself, as an actor-writer, to creating a 10-minute film. I had no filmmaking experience, so it was pure serendipity that I discovered Flavio and his workshop. This weekend, I actually left having created a 3-4 minute film. So I can no longer say I have no filmmaking experience. Flavio delivers what he offers, and his workshop is fun and engaging. You will also meet a wonderful network of diverse, creative, interesting people.”

Alexander Thomas, January 2026

“Here is my feedback on the Improvised Filmmaking Workshop with Flavio. I was reminded again that you either create or act against yourself. Your improvisation will improve when you observe Flavio. Your fear might cause trouble and triumph when you act sincerely. Your film could start now if you stop wasting time. Many thanks, Flavio.”

Nils, December 2025

“This workshop was amazing, and Flavio is a great, energetic, and honest teacher. It helped me worry less about mistakes and stay present in the creative flow. Thank you, Flavio, for this experience.”

Thomas, December 2025

“I would like to say thank you to Flavio for the wonderful workshop we had in November. Flavio offered us a good mixture of theory and practice about “structured improvising” in filmmaking. It was not only interesting to learn a lot of technical and psychological aspects of how to set the right dramatic points for a specific topic in the scene, it was also a lot of fun for our group.”

Ralf, December 2025

“It was such a pleasure to spend two full days in the workshop with Flavio. We had eight hours of intensive learning each day, combining theory and practice. I had the chance to personally experience the work of a screenwriter, director, and actor, it was truly fascinating! I learned a lot of useful knowledge and practical skills, and together with my teammates, we created our own short pieces. It was a very meaningful and inspiring experience.”

Hailey, November 2025

“It felt like slowly walking out of Plato’s cave. Flavio has a unique ability to see people. He's both a magician and a myth-buster, the kind of teacher who doesn’t build illusions, but dismantles them gently until you meet yourself without masks. I carried a paralyzing fear when I first came to Flavio: the fear of trying, failing, messing up. But in his world, there’s no space for pretense, no need to “perform” cinema. Through his honesty and the way he guided us, I began to peel off layers, from restraint to full exposure, from self-protection to honesty. It’s about embracing imperfections, it’s about releasing control!”

Juliana, November 2025

“Flavio has created an environment in which creatives with diverse and enriching backgrounds come together to immerse themselves into the beauty of improvisation and filmmaking. For two days, it is a space where creation flows non-stop. Highly recommended to artists who want to reconnect with their need to create without feeling limited by rigid production constraints. “Mistakes are interesting to explore” and “everything we do happens once” are key principles, curiosity awaits you in this workshop and I hope you have as much fun as I did!”

Carlota Martín, August 2025

“I have recently participated in Flavio’s improv workshop and I have just good things to say about it! As an actress I have always had problems with improvisation and I have really learned a lot in only two days of full practice. Flavio is a very kind director/teacher and really makes us feel heard. The group was also very important in my opinion, we had amazing people that made all the process go way smoother and comfortable. I would highly recommend the workshop!”

Petra Bär, August 2025

“I recently attended Flavio's Improvised Filmmaking Workshop at Reflektor Neukölln and had a great experience. The atmosphere was collaborative and open, and Flavio created a space where experimentation felt encouraged. I appreciated the balance between structure and spontaneity, perfect for anyone interested in exploring storytelling in a hands-on, low-pressure environment. Definitely worth checking out if you're curious about filmmaking from a fresh perspective.”

Michal Zak, July 2025

“In July, I participated in Flavio’s Improvised Filmmaking Workshop, and it was an intense weekend, in the best possible way. Before the workshop, I often found myself stuck in an observer’s mindset, unable to fully engage. This experience helped me break through that barrier and be present in the moment. Flavio is an outstanding teacher. His passion for film is undeniable. There are no hierarchies, just a group of people brought together by a shared passion for film and improvisation. I didn’t know anyone when I arrived, but by the end of the weekend, it felt like we had known each other for years.”

Merily, July 2025

“I recently took part in an improv acting workshop with Flavio, and it was such a fun and refreshing experience, especially as a beginner. He’s super encouraging and created a space where everyone felt comfortable and free to be themselves. What I really liked was how we didn’t just talk about techniques, we got to try them out right away through practical exercises. It was a great mix of creativity, connection, and a lot of laughs. I’d totally recommend it, whether you’re new to acting or have some experience.”

Azmin, July 2025

“I’ve been struggling with a block around filmmaking for quite a while, unable to finish scripts and projects, and when I read Flavio’s workshop description I knew straight away that this would be a massive piece of the puzzle. I was just really moved by how genuine and authentic Flavio’s purpose and presence is. In 2 days he turned total strangers into a collaborative community with the deepest trust and respect. I’ve come away with great content for my showreel and an inspiration to embrace the present moment, to embrace imperfection, let go and get out there shooting. Can’t recommend highly enough.”

Emma, July 2025

“Wonderful workshop, it gave me the courage to jump into improvisations through exploring different techniques, and just by doing it, I have proven that when it came to applying improvisation skills, I felt secure enough to go ahead and jump into it. I believe this is both due to the methodologies learned in the course, and to the fact that by doing it I knew that I could.”
