"Kim Krejus and I studied together at the Drama Centre in London under Yat Malmgren - a teacher who had a profound influence on our lives. I am delighted 16th Street Acting Studio is dedicated to training a new generation of Australian film actors incorporating Yat's remarkable acting process. A rare opportunity."

"Given that most actors work more in film and television than theatre, it's great to have a Melbourne acting school for full-time training in screen performance. 16th Street Acting Studio is not only committed to training, but supporting emerging artists develop and forge a career."

Her students include Brad Pitt, Halle Berry, Jim Carrey, Charlize Theron, Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Pine, Jessica Biel, James Franco, Beyonce Knowles, Radha Mitchell, Julian McMahon, Eva Mendes and Kate Bosworth, and many others.

"I'm thrilled Kim Krejus has started 16th Street Acting Studio in Melbourne - dedicated to screen performance.

I trained Kim in LA to teach my technique. She understands what underpins my work: that actors can use their own adversity to fuel their characters' will to win.

Kim's a first-rate acting teacher with insight, intelligence and an inexhaustible curiosity - bringing actors closer to the parts of themselves they might otherwise avoid.

Kim has an innate ability to see inside the actor and identify what is stopping them from reaching their full potential in their work. Preparing them for a successful career in film and television.

Her teaching is about more than acting; it is a deep desire to understand who we are as people and why we do what we do. My actors in LA loved her.

I very much look forward to coming to Australia next year and working with 16th Street Acting Studio."

"It is a great initiative to offer intensive, creative training at an acting studio exclusively for professional actors. I am always looking for new ways to challenge and educate myself as an actor and 16th Street definitely offers both. With the line up of acclaimed actors and teachers on staff, 16th Street Acting Studio is an exciting asset to the industry."
