Sylvia Mayer, Munich

In her workshop, the director Carla B. Guttmann skillfully managed to shed light on my current career situation. Even for actors who are already skilled at moving through German film festivals, this cultural analysis allows them to open their eyes beyond the German borders to other paths. She manages to provide the participant with strategies that can be tailored to their own personality and a step in the right direction. Without judging, she gives feedback on existing film reel material and encourages you to listen more closely to what exactly you want as an artist.

The work with Carla was a pleasure. Her experience inspired me to get ahead in my career. She helped me to see things clearly and structured! To move forward you need a plan – and Carla helped me with her open-minded and experiences in the industry. Our ways are individual and different – but with Carla as a coach, I found someone who listens and wants me to grow and achieve my dreams. She has a sense of happiness and knowledge combined with great empathy.

Were you ever at a film festival wondering what you’re doing there? You don’t have to be confused. Carla Guttmann will effectively guide you on how to prepare before you go and what to think about when you’re at the festival. Her guidance is practical, clear-sighted, and encouraging!

Johannes Stenmarck, Stockholm

Carla’s in-depth knowledge about the industry and private coaching has helped me to define myself as an actor, whom I should contact, and has help structure a clear plan of action for the next two-three years. Her guidance and ability to pick out my unique traits have really increased my confidence and enthusiasm for this business. Invaluable! I highly recommend a private session with Carla!

Alex Ekelöf, Stockholm

I’m so happy and thankful that I met with Carla for a private consultation about my acting career. She helped me look at my PR material with a different mindset and clarity. It made me pinpoint what direction to take and how to approach my career with a more thought through action plan. Loved our meeting and also the way she followed up afterwards. Highly recommend any actor – regardless of where they are in their acting career – to have a sit-down with Carla for this consultation.

Anja Bourdais, Berlin

Carla B. Guttmann’s coaching helped me a lot! As a director with tremendous expertise, her heart is in the right place, and she has an unlimited enthusiasm. She brought me so far in my process that I was able to shoot with one of her initiated contacts. Top class!

Josephine Bauer, Stockholm

Carla is inspiring and creative in her coaching. She motivates female actors, in our vulnerable work environment, to find ourselves. She is a role model with her international network and experience in the film industry. Highly recommended!

Maria Jones, Stockholm

I love how Carla showed me the spine of who I am in our private coaching, through my history, my skills, and the aspects of my trade that bring me joy. It was wonderful to share Carla’s immense knowledge and experience of the industry and see it from her point of view. It was incredibly useful to get concrete points to start researching directors I’d like to work with and for once, I feel like I have a way forward.

Signe Elwin-Nowak, Stockholm

I would highly recommend anyone who’s hoping for success within the entertainment industry to attend her Festival Master Class. Carla is insightful, intelligent, and inspiring. After meeting Carla, I only had one thing to say: “Can we make you president?”

J Nycole Ralph, Los Angeles/New York

Your workshop today was incredibly helpful.  I love going to film festivals just because I love the art, the networking, the fellowship, and quite honestly the partying; but now, after your workshop, I feel that I have a really focused way to approach them and get the most out of my time and money at these festivals!  I really think this is going to be a gamechanger for my career.  Thank you SO so much!!

Nicole Meier, Los Angeles

Carla’s A-List Festival Workshop was super informative! I got action points for myself as an actor on how to proceed next and pitfalls to avoid while attending those festivals. The intimate Q & A afterwards was super helpful and there’s a lot of time for everyone to ask questions! 

Lottie Johansson, Stockholm

Carla helped me realize my niche and made me more certain on how to move forward in my career. A truly inspiring and motivating session!

Judith Shoemaker, Berlin

Carla showed me how to navigate film festivals with ease. As an actress it can be very overwhelming and she gave some hands on advice: which lists to use, whom to approach and how to approach them. Recommended!

Carolin Ott, Berlin

Carla’s coaching is very inspiring. It encouraged me to keep following my instincts and also helped me find my USP. We mapped out my journey thus far and this was an eye-opening experience. I highly recommend her.

Matti Boustedt, Stockholm

Carla is a very inspiring coach, she helped me focus on where I should put my effort, in my career. Her knowledge of the film festivals is like gold for any actor. I really recommend her.

Cecilia Säverman, Stockholm

If you feel a little lost in your career or who you are as a film actor, I would like to recommend the director and coach Carla B. Guttmann. She goes through all one’s material and guides you on your showreel, directors, and film festivals. I got coaching right before the pandemic. It has been very rewarding to get outer eyes on my entire film background and guidance on a clear direction ahead. Check her out!

Signe Elwin-Nowak, Stockholm

I recently took part in Carla’s new five hour private coaching! First of all, this is five (!) hours of coaching and looking at the price tag it might seem like a lot of money and that’s scary… but let me tell you: you get so much more than those five hours. Sure, you’ll pay for five sessions but what you don’t have to pay for is the additional hours that Carla dedicates to you, your brand and your material. In my case, I know she spent several hours leading up to our sessions reviewing my stuff and figuring out the best path and individual strategy for me. And you really can’t put a price on that, it’s invaluable! 

As for the coaching, I’ve now completed four out of five sessions. Because I was short on time and wanted to do it sooner rather than later she agreed to do it over zoom and it worked out perfectly. The details of what each session includes is written on her website and you can trust that that’s exactly what you’ll get (and more).

I’ve been in this industry for most of my adult life and Carla offered me a new fresh perspective on my own craft and the industry as a whole. She has decades of experience and it definitely shows! Whatever you think you know, she’ll know a little bit more. It’s exhilarating! I learned to understand my background, my strengths and who I am as an actor, but also as a person. To concretize my goals and dreams to make them a reality. 

I’m really not one to write reviews but I’ve done the trial and error thing when it comes to acting schools, teachers, coaches, classes, workshops – you name it. I can surely say that my coaching with Carla will be the most well spent money of this year. I hope you all get a chance to do this for yourselves at one point or another!

Cecilia Sandoval, Berlin/Buenos Aires

The lecture and analysis was very helpful for me, I came home with a lot of ideas and a bigger impulse. Carla B. Guttmann helped me to clarify my own path and to see my style. The information she gave me was very useful. I would definitely recommend her coaching to any actor.

Victor von Schirach, Stockholm

Carla’s sharp eye motivated me to restructure my current personal branding and develop an individualized introductory video as an actor. She was the salt I needed on the slippery winter road towards success. With her clear guidance on how to approach specific directors with whom I want to work, her coaching has helped me tremendously during this precarious Covid-year. I truly recommend her!

Martin Rutegard, Stockholm

Carla made me understand who I am both as a person and as an actor. Not really knowing how to proceed, I received good guidance from her on how to get further in my career and to improve myself!

Lydia Leist, Stuttgart

I gained a lot of information and insight from Carla’s workshop about three of the biggest film festivals: Cannes, Berlinale, and TIFF. For example, how to register for a festival like Cannes and which events I should attend. The most valuable information was how to prepare for a festival in advance and what goals I can and should set as an actress!  That gave me a lot of clarity and confidence about my work!

Ola Wallinder, Stockholm

Uplifting, invigorating and inspiring! Carla is awesome! Just do the workshop – you won’t regret it!
