She runs her own independent production company AVA – All Visions Align and has produced\, written\, directed and starred in a variety of film and stage productions in Japan\, Germany\, London and Los Angeles.\nHer teaching technique is a fusion of influences compiled from her experiences across all creative aspects of filmmaking and acting as well as life- and business coaching. \nAmongst many others she studied with Monika Gossmann (Iron Sky\, Mank)\, Lisa Pescia (Curb Your Enthusiasm\, Seinfeld) and Bernard Hiller (coach of Cameron Diaz\, Michelle Pfeiffer\,…). She has produced five feature films\, wrote and directed several plays\, a webseries and various short films. She also trained in “Contextual Coaching” (NLP and RET based) for a deeper understanding of how to reach and empower students on an individual level.\nMarei’s approach to teaching always begins with the student as an individual and focuses most on finding and refining the talent\, experience and passion that’s already there – then taking it to the next level. \n  \nAbout Lucas Rue\nLucas studied in ESRA (Ecole Supérieure de Réalisation Audiovisuelle) in PARIS. After his graduation in 2006\, he worked on more than 60 films (Short Films\, Music Videos\, Documentaries\, TV Shows and Feature Films) as Director\, Assistant Director\, Director of Photography\, Cameraman and Gaffer. \nLucas studied acting alongside two of the most famous acting coaches in the U.S (Bob Mc Andrew and Susan Batson). Being their assistant and cameraman for 4 years\, he acquired the skills he needed to pursue his work as filmmaker. As he was continuously working on film set\, Lucas had eventually the opportunity to teach in one of the most prestigious acting school in Paris\, “L’Entrée des Artistes” directed by Olivier BELMONDO. As “acting on screen” teacher for this institution for more than ten years\, Lucas developed and sharpened his own method of teaching acting. \nIn 2017\, he moved to Japan to continue his work as acting coach and filmmaker.
